800 Victory Boulevard, Staten Island, NY 10301

As of July 2025, the 150-unit, 6-story apartment building at 800 Victory Boulevard in Silver Lake, owned by Jay Newhouse, is experiencing significant ongoing maintenance issues, particularly with its heat and hot water systems. The most recent concerning development is a drinking water-related illness complaint filed in June 2025 that remains in progress. Throughout June 2025 alone, there were multiple heating system complaints, including eight emergency responses between June 29-30 regarding heat/hot water issues affecting the entire building.

Additionally, violations have been documented for inadequate heat supply in multiple apartments, including problems with self-closing doors and water temperature regulation. The building has a history of various maintenance challenges, including a 2024 violation for exterior facade maintenance issues, and multiple earlier complaints regarding heating system deficiencies. An inspection in late 2024 revealed several violations, including problems with self-closing doors, inadequate heat supply, and excessive hot water temperatures.

While there were also historical issues with bedbugs and rodent infestations reported between 2019-2021, recent bedbug reports (2021-2025) indicate no ongoing infestations. The elevator system appears to be currently under scrutiny with an active complaint from April 2025 regarding single device service with no alternate service. While the Department of Buildings has conducted several inspections in response to various complaints, most recent inspections have resolved previous violations, though many were dismissed without finding supporting violations at the time of inspection. The building's water infrastructure appears to be experiencing recurring difficulties, as evidenced by multiple water-related complaints and violations over recent months and years.
