1356 Clove Road, Staten Island, NY 10301

The two-family house at 1356 Clove Road in Castleton Corners, owned by Steve Veksler, has experienced several maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most recent concerns arising in 2023. Three notable incidents were reported in August 2023, including a power outage that resulted in Section 8 Failure, window frame issues, and bathtub/shower plumbing problems, though no violations were initially noted for the latter two complaints. More seriously, multiple electrical violations were documented in October 2023 in the second-floor apartment, including defective outlets in multiple rooms, while earlier issues in 2022-2021 involved wiring problems (2022, no violations issued) and sanitation concerns regarding garbage/recycling storage (2021, no violations issued). The property, built in 1940, has some concerning ongoing violations as of 2024, with active issues related to failure to file 2023 External Low-Pressure Inspections, which were also previously noted for 2021 inspections (June 2023 violations).

In December 2021, there were violations concerning unauthorized residential modifications at the ground floor, though these were resolved. The building has maintained a clear record regarding bedbug infestations, with no incidents reported in the past four reporting periods from 2019 to 2024. A paint/plaster issue involving a ceiling was reported in January 2020, and there was one instance in 2020 where HPD was unable to gain access for inspection. The property has demonstrated a pattern of electrical and plumbing maintenance issues that appear to be recurring, with the most recent concerns primarily focused on the second-floor apartment's electrical systems and various infrastructure needs.
