211 Granite Avenue, Staten Island, NY 10303

The two-family house at 211 Granite Avenue in Mariners Harbor, owned by Gary Grinberg, has a documented history of maintenance issues spanning from 2007 through 2022, with the most recent significant complaint regarding mold and unsanitary conditions in October 2022. This recent complaint was not able to be inspected by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development, resulting in an unresolved status.

The building has faced several violations of the Housing Maintenance Code, most notably in 2009-2010 when multiple issues were identified, including problems with plumbing fixtures in both apartments (toilet in 1FL and kitchen sink), plastered surfaces in 2nd room from east in Apartment 2, and various other violations such as a broken wood tread on the stoop and a gas supply issue for the kitchen range in the rear apartment. These violations were ultimately certified as corrected in 2018.

The property has undergone minimal recent inspection activity, with a Department of Buildings inspection in 2018 related to an illegal conversion complaint that was found to warrant no violation. Of particular concern is the building's rodent inspection history between 2010-2012, during which multiple inspections (both initial and compliance) failed for "Other Reasons," indicating persistent pest management challenges during that period. While many of the historical violations appear to have been addressed, the recent mold complaint from 2022 suggests potential ongoing maintenance issues, and the lack of inspections or complaints from 2018-2025 may indicate either improved conditions or reduced reporting activity.
