I, Merton Corn, certify that:

1.   I have reviewed this Report on Form 10-QSB of VSB Bancorp, Inc.;

2.   Based on my knowledge, this report does not contain any untrue statement of
a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the
statements made, in light of the circumstances under which such statements were
made, not misleading with respect to the period covered by this report;

3.   Based on my knowledge, the financial statements, and other financial
information included in this report, fairly present in all material respects the
financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the small business
issuer as of, and for, the periods presented in this report;

4.   The small business issuer's other certifying officer(s) and I are
responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures
(as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) and internal control
over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and
15d-15(f)) for the small business issuer and have:

     a.  Designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such
         disclosure controls and procedures to be designed under our
         supervision, to ensure that material information relating to the small
         business issuer, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known
         to us by others within those entities, particularly during the period
         in which this report is being prepared;

     b.[Omitted in accordance with SEC Release Nos. 33-8238 and 34-47986]; and

     c.  Evaluated the effectiveness of the small business issuer's disclosure
         controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this
         report based on such evaluation; and

     d.  Disclosed in this report any change in the small business issuer's
         internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the
         small business issuer's fourth fiscal quarter that has materially
         affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the small
         business issuer's internal control over financial reporting; and

5.   The small business issuer's other certifying officer(s) and I have
disclosed, based on our most recent evaluation of internal control over
financial reporting, to the small business issuer's auditors and the audit
committee of the small business issuer's board of directors (or persons
performing the equivalent functions):

     a.  All significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or
         operation of internal control over financial reporting which are
         reasonably likely to adversely affect the small business issuer's
         ability to record, process, summarize and report financial information;
         and

     b.  Any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other
         employees who have a significant role in the small business issuer's
         internal control over financial reporting.
