Yes. 690 Castleton Avenue, Staten Island had 15 open violations on September 26, 2026: 15 from HPD. 13 are Class C, the class HPD treats as immediately hazardous.
Is 690 Castleton Avenue, Staten Island getting better or worse?
Open violations are sitting, with little movement either way. 13 open Class C, with 2 certifications filed and 2 new Class C in the last 180 days, too few to call a direction. That window ends September 26, 2026. It compares certifications filed with new Class C violations, and it describes what happened, not what anyone intends.
When were certifications filed on Class C violations at 690 Castleton Avenue, Staten Island?
Since September 28, 2023, certifications were filed on 26 Class C violations: 24 by the original certify-by date, 2 after it. A certification is the filing, dated when it was made, not HPD's acceptance of it. It is compared with the original certify-by date on the notice. A granted postponement moves that date and the city's data keeps only the first, so a certification counted after it may still have met a postponed date.
Does 690 Castleton Avenue, Staten Island have active DOB violations?
Yes. 1 active DOB violation, issued January 13, 1997. The Department of Buildings writes these separately from HPD's housing violations, for things like boilers, elevators, facades, construction and energy filings. Each one stays active until DOB resolves or dismisses it.
Has DOB received complaints about 690 Castleton Avenue, Staten Island?
Yes. 3 DOB complaints in the last 12 months. The newest was filed February 19, 2026. Anyone can complain to DOB about a building or the work going on in it, and DOB then inspects and decides whether there is a violation. A conversion complaint says an apartment may have been added or changed without approval. It is a complaint, not a finding.
Does 690 Castleton Avenue, Staten Island have a certificate of occupancy?
Its latest certificate of occupancy is a final one, issued January 24, 2019. A certificate of occupancy says how a building may be used and occupied. A temporary one lets people move in while work finishes and has to be renewed until DOB issues the final one. DOB's records here start in July 2012, so an older certificate may not show.
Is 690 Castleton Avenue, Staten Island rent stabilized?
The building has rent-stabilized apartments on its 2024 registration. That comes from the Rent Guidelines Board's list of buildings with at least one stabilized apartment registered that year.
