83 Cottage Place, Staten Island, NY 10302

The two-family house at 83 Cottage Place in Port Richmond, constructed in 1915 and currently owned by Dominique Vanterpool, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years. Most notably, in late 2020, the building underwent multiple heat and hot water-related incidents, with complaints received for both the entire building and individual apartments, resulting in emergency violations from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).

During the same period, there were additional complaints regarding flooring, stairs, and window issues, though inspectors were unable to gain access for evaluation in some cases. A concerning rodent-related incident occurred in May 2022, leading to violations from the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, though follow-up inspections in August 2022 resulted in compliance.

The building has a mixed record of rodent inspections, with initial inspections in 2011 and 2019 showing failures before passing in subsequent compliance inspections. While the property has had its share of maintenance challenges, recent records show that many of the more serious issues have been addressed, with no major complaints or violations recorded in the most recent years up to October 2023.
