3 Van Cortlandt Avenue, Staten Island, NY 10301
The 8-unit, 2-story building at 3 Van Cortlandt Avenue in Grymes Hill, owned by Samir Lazoja and constructed in 1933, has experienced recurring heating system issues over the past five years, with multiple complaints about lack of heat and hot water affecting the entire building between 2020 and 2024. Most recently, in October 2024, there was a complaint about unsanitary conditions related to pests that HPD was unable to inspect.
The building has a history of unauthorized work and access issues, with several "Work Without a Permit" complaints between 2018 and 2024, though in most cases, inspectors were unable to gain access for verification. Notably, in 2020, there were two significant ECB violations regarding illegal cellar apartment modifications, including unauthorized installation of plumbing and gas lines, though these were resolved with penalties.
The building underwent multiple improvements in 2019-2020, including addressing violations related to carbon monoxide detectors and various plaster and paint repairs in Apartment 2. There have been no bedbug infestations reported in the building since at least 2022, with the most recent filings in 2025 showing zero infested units. The most recent building inspection violation from 2023 was dismissed regarding an external low-pressure inspection filing requirement.
