31 Slaight Street, Staten Island, NY 10302

31 Slaight Street, owned by Martin Kirzner, is a 3-story, 44-unit residential building constructed in 1997 in Port Richmond. The building has experienced multiple maintenance issues in recent years, with significant clusters of complaints in 2025. A series of 311 service requests and Housing Maintenance Code complaints in early 2025 primarily involved accessibility issues during HPD inspections, with complaints about bathrooms, cabinets, ventilation systems, doors, and plumbing.

While the complaints were technically resolved, they often required re-submission to address the underlying issues. The building underwent several inspections in late 2024 and early 2025, revealing multiple violations in apartments 8A, 11A, and 21B, including problems with water fixtures, door mechanisms, and safety systems like smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors. The property has a history of lighting and parking-related issues, with a 2023 violation regarding parking lot lights and multiple 2025 complaints about garbage/recycling storage.

While there were some rodent inspection failures in 2015 and 2016, more recent inspections in 2022 showed passing results, suggesting improvement in pest control measures. Notably, the building has maintained a clean record in terms of bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in the past four years. The most recent compliance issues appear to be primarily maintenance-related rather than involving serious safety concerns, though the repeated inspection access issues in 2025 raise some concerns about communication between management and residents regarding maintenance matters.
