140 Grandview Avenue, Staten Island, NY 10303

140 Grandview Avenue is a two-family, two-story residential building constructed in 1899 in the Mariners Harbor neighborhood, currently owned by Oleg Krasnitsky. The property has experienced notable maintenance and habitability issues over the past several years, with the most recent concerns emerging in late 2024 regarding paint/plaster issues and pest infestations, though inspections were unable to be completed.

A significant cluster of problems was documented in March 2022, including violations related to electrical wiring, plumbing (radiators and toilets), heat/hot water, water leaks, wall conditions, and mold. These led to multiple open violations affecting Apartment 2, including issues with radiator covers, outlet covers, waste line obstructions, wood subfloor defects, water leak sources, and plaster/paint conditions. The building's maintenance history shows persistent challenges particularly affecting Apartment 2, with open violations still recorded as of 2023.

These include requirements to repair water leaks, re-paint walls and ceilings, address radiator cover deficiencies, and resolve waste line issues. While the building has maintained a record of being bedbug-free according to recent inspections from 2022 through 2025, there have been periodic rodent control inspections dating back to 2010, showing a pattern of initial failures followed by successful compliance inspections. The most recent bedbug reports from 2025 show no infestations, and the building's overall condition appears to have stabilized somewhat, though multiple open violations from 2022 remain on record, warranting attention to the building's ongoing maintenance needs.
