61 Harrison Avenue, Staten Island, NY 10302

The two-family house at 61 Harrison Avenue in Port Richmond, currently owned by Gary Grinberg, has experienced recurring maintenance issues since at least 2021. Most notably, there have been two heat/hot water emergencies in 2023 (November and March), with the latter case resulting in violations for inadequate heat supply in December.

The building underwent multiple inspections in April 2022 that uncovered various issues including pest infestations (violations issued), mold, sewage problems, and concerns with windows and doors - though some of these complaints were ultimately closed without violations. In 2021, there were documented problems with electrical outlets and stair flooring, with several violations issued including those pertaining to broken outlets and door hardware. The building's maintenance history shows a persistent pattern of heating system problems, particularly affecting the second floor apartment.

Other significant violations have included issues with a loose bathroom cabinet and various door/window problems. Historical rodent inspections in 2010 and 2011 resulted in failed compliance for "Other Reasons," though these issues do not appear to have recurred in more recent years. While most violations have been resolved through appropriate inspections and certifications, the recurrence of heating system issues in 2023 suggests ongoing challenges with maintaining basic building systems.
