585 North Railroad Ave, Staten Island, NY 10304
585 North Railroad Avenue is a 6-story, 34-unit residential building constructed in 1975 and currently owned by Vincent Ragosta. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with six documented complaints about these essential services between January 2021 and February 2025, though inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) consistently found that heat and hot water had been restored by the time of their visits.
In addition to the heating problems, the building encountered various maintenance challenges, including unsanitary conditions with pests (May 2023, violations issued), door and window issues (2021), electrical problems (2021), and multiple boiler-related complaints indicating potentially ongoing equipment reliability concerns, with a particularly significant violation from March 2024 regarding an inoperable Peerless gas-fired boiler that remains active with a penalty of $312. Recent inspections in July 2023 revealed several violations related to fire safety and building maintenance, including non-compliant self-closing doors on fire stairs A and B, and various notice requirements not being met regarding the building's registration number and carbon monoxide detection device requirements.
The building has also maintained an active record of compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, showing zero infested units in all annual reports since 2020, and has passed rodent inspections in 2022 following earlier issues in 2012. Historical records indicate previous violations related to elevator maintenance (2020) and various apartment-specific issues, though many of these have been addressed and closed according to the official records.
