85 Prospect Street, Staten Island, NY 10304

The two-family house at 85 Prospect Street in Stapleton, owned by Espie Vellios and constructed in 1910, has experienced several maintenance issues in recent months. Most notably, during May 2025, multiple emergency complaints were filed and subsequently addressed by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), resulting in violations that require correction by the property owner.

These violations included unsanitary conditions related to mold and pests, a problematic door, and a water leak causing damp spots. Additionally, there was an inspection related to the building's porch/balcony area, though this particular complaint did not result in any housing law violations.

The property also experienced a building stability complaint in May 2025, which was investigated but found to have no warrant for violation at the time of inspection. While the building's recent history shows multiple maintenance issues requiring attention, it's worth noting that there were no bedbug infestations reported for the period from November 2023 to October 2024, with zero infested units and no eradications or re-infestions recorded. The building's documented problems primarily center around moisture control, structural maintenance, and pest management, with violations issued that give the property owner a specified time to address these issues according to housing law.
