17 St Marks Place, Staten Island, NY 10301
17 St Marks Place is a 3-story, 6-unit residential building located in St. George, built in 1874 and currently owned by Vijaiantie Kellawhan. The property has experienced a notable cluster of maintenance issues in recent months, with multiple complaints filed in June 2025 regarding heating system problems, water leaks, electrical issues, and paint/plaster concerns.
Of particular significance is the apparent difficulty inspectors have encountered in accessing the building for necessary inspections - a pattern seen in at least eight separate complaint investigations between May and June 2025, where inspectors were unable to gain access and required inhabitants to reschedule through HPD. The building has several outstanding issues documented in 2023-2024 that warrant attention. Violations from June 2023 remain open regarding plaster and paint conditions in Apartment 2, including defective ceiling and wall surfaces.
The property also has two active DOB violations related to electrical wiring from May 2024 that have yet to be resolved. Previously identified concerns included safety-related citations such as improperly maintained self-closing doors and a missing smoke detector notice, though many violations from 2023 have been closed, including those related to fire retardant materials and household items in public areas. The building's maintenance history shows periodic record-keeping and compliance issues, with violations issued in 2023 for failure to file external low-pressure inspections for 2021 and 2022, though these were ultimately dismissed. A rodent inspection in January 2023 passed, indicating no rodent-related issues at that time.
