56 Uxbridge Street, Staten Island, NY 10314

The two-family house at 56 Uxbridge Street in Willowbrook, owned by Mordechai Zablotsky, has experienced significant and ongoing regulatory issues since 2021, primarily concerning illegal conversions and improper modifications to the property's garage. The building, constructed in 1970 and originally including a ground-level indoor garage as per DOB records, has been the subject of multiple complaints and violations regarding unauthorized changes to the garage area.

Most notably, a window was installed in place of the garage door, with associated security features added, as documented in multiple complaints and violation notices between 2021 and 2023. Recently, on February 15, 2023, an inspection confirmed the unauthorized modification, leading to an active ECB violation with a $1,250 penalty still due. The timeline reveals persistent access issues for inspectors trying to verify compliance, with multiple instances of inspectors being denied access or requiring multiple attempts to enter the property.

The building has also faced two separate complaints regarding its certificate of occupancy status, with inspectors being unable to gain access during two separate inspections in 2021-2022. While the property owner has resolved some earlier violations without penalties, the most recent violation from 2023 remains active, suggesting continued non-compliance with building regulations. The pattern of complaints and violations over this extended period indicates ongoing maintenance and compliance issues that may affect resident safety and property integrity.
