331 Edison Street, Staten Island, NY 10306

The 4-unit, 3-story building at 331 Edison Street in New Dorp, owned by Becir Cosaj, has experienced recurring maintenance issues since 2018, with particular concerns about heat and water systems, drainage problems, and pest management. Most recently, in February 2024, there was a heat/hot water complaint affecting the entire building, though HPD inspectors were unable to gain access for verification.

The building has a notable history of heat and hot water issues, with multiple emergency complaints recorded in late 2018 and more recent heat complaints in 2023, suggesting persistent HVAC system challenges. Water management has been an ongoing concern, with several complaints about standing water and drainage problems in 2023 and 2024, including two Department of Buildings complaints that were referred to the Department of Transportation. The property has experienced various unsanitary conditions over the years, with multiple HPD complaints regarding garbage/recycling storage in 2022, and pest issues in 2023.

While some incidents of standing water on sidewalks were investigated in 2023 and 2022 with no violations found, inspection records from 2018 indicate two open violations in Apartment 1FL related to painting and ceramic floor tile repairs. A rodent inspection conducted in 2019 showed that the building passed the initial inspection, though recent pest complaints suggest this may no longer be representative of current conditions. The building's maintenance history indicates a pattern of delayed responses to access requirements for inspections, as noted in multiple closed complaints where inspectors were unable to gain entry to verify reported issues.
