867 Van Duzer Street, Staten Island, NY 10304

The three-unit, two-story residential building at 867 Van Duzer Street in Clifton, Staten Island, has been owned by Ryan Chan since 1915 and currently carries the building class designation of 2 FAMILY HOUSE. The property has a significant history of housing maintenance code violations, with the most recent inspections in 2024 and 2023 revealing ongoing issues requiring attention. Specifically, there are unresolved Class A violations regarding maintenance of public hall areas and individual apartment spaces.

The building's public hallways, affecting both the first and second stories, have been consistently cited (2018, 2023, and 2024 inspections) for needing light-colored paint in compliance with § 27-2013 of the Administrative Code. Additionally, there are persistent issues in Apartment 2 regarding defective plaster surfaces and the need for uniform ceiling paint in kitchen areas, as noted in both 2023 and 2024 inspections. These violations, which have been open for considerable periods, suggest ongoing maintenance challenges.

On a more positive note, the building recently passed a rodent inspection in June 2025, indicating that this particular health and safety concern has been adequately addressed. While the property has demonstrated some ability to meet basic health standards, the persistent nature of the housing maintenance code violations, particularly in common areas and private living spaces, suggests there may be ongoing challenges related to building upkeep and maintenance response times. The most recent violations are of particular note, as they represent the most current state of the property's maintenance conditions.
