120 Lockman Avenue, Staten Island, NY 10303

The property at 120 Lockman Avenue in Mariners Harbor is a 2-family, 2-story house built in 1920 and currently owned by Gary Grinberg. The building has a significant record of violations and complaints related to illegal conversions and unpermitted work, with the most notable issues occurring between August and September 2021.

During this period, multiple complaints were filed regarding unauthorized construction, including the installation of water and waste lines, showers, sinks, toilets, and a gas line for a stove in the cellar and rear extension, as well as the creation of an unauthorized Class A apartment in the cellar level with bathroom and kitchen facilities. These violations led to Environmental Control Board citations issued in February 2024, though no penalties were imposed or remain due. The building's occupancy status was also called into question, with reports of unauthorized bedroom use in both the attic and cellar areas, contrary to the building's Certificate of Occupancy which specifies it as a 2.5-story, 2-family structure with attic storage only.

Additional historical records show the property underwent rodent inspections in 2010, with one initial inspection failing for "Other Reasons" and a subsequent compliance inspection passing. While the most recent ECB violations were resolved in February 2024, three DOB violations from September 2021 remain active, documenting unauthorized construction and occupancy concerns. The building's documented history suggests ongoing challenges with regulatory compliance, particularly regarding occupancy and construction modifications, though there have been no recent complaints or violations reported since the 2024 resolution of the ECB citations.
