155 Prospect Avenue, Staten Island, NY 10301

155 Prospect Avenue is a three-story, 30-unit New Law tenement building constructed in 1930 and currently owned by Wolf Sicherman. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most recent problems occurring in May 2025, when both a water leak (heavy flow) and lighting issue were reported and resulted in violations being issued.

Historically, the building has faced recurring heat and hot water problems, including two separate incidents affecting the entire building in late 2019, and a significant mold problem in 2021-2022. A thorough inspection of Apartment 3D in 2022 revealed multiple violations including water leaks, mold, and various structural issues, though these were subsequently certified as corrected. The building's maintenance history shows some pattern of infrastructural challenges, including a 2019 violation for failure to file an annual boiler inspection report (though this was dismissed after a penalty was paid).

More recent inspections in July 2023 noted violations related to self-closing doors and tree branches affecting fire escapes. The property has maintained a generally good record regarding pest control, with only one documented case of bedbugs in late 2024 (though all affected units were treated), and passed a rodent inspection in August 2019. While the building has experienced various maintenance issues over the years, most violations have been addressed, though some recent issues suggest ongoing concerns with building systems and maintenance responsiveness.
