173 Grandview Avenue, Staten Island, NY 10303

At 173 Grandview Avenue in Mariners Harbor, the two-family, two-story house built in 1915 has experienced several concerning maintenance issues in recent years, particularly in 2024. Most notably, there were multiple complaints in July 2024 that were not able to be inspected by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), including issues related to electricity (lighting problems, outlet/switch concerns), plumbing (toilet issues), sewage, water leaks (both slow and heavy), and pests.

An indoor air quality complaint regarding sewage odor was recorded in August 2024, followed by a confirmed water leak complaint in January 2025. The building has notable open violations from a July 2021 inspection of Apartment 1F, including multiple electrical issues (defective switches and missing light control strings) and a missing carbon monoxide detector, along with a complex history of rodent inspections in 2010 and 2011, with one failed inspection in October 2010.

The most recent documented issue is the January 2025 water leak complaint, which was investigated but found not to violate HPD's housing laws. While some earlier problems have been resolved, many of the 2024 complaints highlight persistent maintenance challenges, particularly relating to electrical systems, plumbing, and sanitation. The building's age and history suggest that while some issues have been addressed over time, multiple systems require ongoing attention and maintenance.
