201 South Avenue, Staten Island, NY 10303

The two-story, five-unit building at 201 South Avenue in Mariners Harbor, owned by Yaniv Iunger, has a concerning maintenance history spanning several years. Most notably, there have been persistent heat and hot water issues, with the most recent emergency complaint in April 2025 resulting in HPD violations. The building has multiple open violations from a September 2024 inspection of apartment 2F, including problems with window frames, floor tiles, bathroom fixtures, and ceiling conditions that present significant maintenance concerns.

The property has also had recurring issues with heating systems, documented in both 2019 and 2025 complaints. The building's regulatory history reveals serious structural and safety concerns, particularly in 2018 when multiple ECB violations were issued regarding unauthorized alterations to the building's family unit configuration, and construction work not conforming to approved documents. Although these violations were ultimately resolved, they suggest past non-compliance with building codes.

The property has faced challenges with basic habitability requirements, including multiple annual bedbug report violations from 2022-2024, and concerning rodent inspection results in early 2018, though a subsequent inspection in December 2017 showed improved conditions. Between 2024 and 2025 alone, there have been numerous maintenance complaints requiring HPD intervention, indicating ongoing upkeep challenges that may affect tenant comfort and safety. While some past violations have been resolved, such as various housing maintenance code violations from 2018, the building continues to grapple with maintenance issues as evidenced by recent violations and service requests. The most pressing current concerns appear to be centered around heat and hot water systems, window maintenance, and general building upkeep, particularly affecting unit 2F where multiple violations were documented in September 2024.
