835 Van Duzer Street, Staten Island, NY 10304

835 Van Duzer Street is a three-story, seven-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1930 and currently owned by Steven Ferdinando. The building has experienced persistent heating system issues over the past two years, with multiple emergency complaints (11 instances between 2023-2025) regarding lack of heat and hot water affecting the entire building. Notably, there were violations recorded in December 2023 and December 2022 related to inadequate heat and hot water supply in apartments 2A and 3A, as well as access issues to the heating system in the cellar.

In late 2022, there was a fire incident affecting apartment 1B and the building received violations for illegally converted units in basement apartment 1C, with fines totaling $3,750. Housing Maintenance Code violations related to heat and hot water issues were recorded between December 2023 and January 2025, though most have since been closed. The building's recent history shows some improvements in pest management, with no bedbug infestations reported in 2023-2024, following several instances between 2017 and 2022 when multiple units were affected (up to 6 units in 2019).

Currently, there is one active local law compliance inspection complaint from 2024, though no violations have been disposed of as of the latest data. The property has demonstrated recurring maintenance challenges, particularly with its heating system, which has resulted in numerous tenant complaints requiring governmental intervention. While some structural issues have been addressed through violation resolutions, the ongoing nature of heating system problems suggests persistent infrastructure challenges within the building.
