Staten Island NYC Landlord Database

Staten Island is the smallest of the five boroughs by population and the most suburban in character. Residential stock is dominated by 1–2 family homes and townhouse developments concentrated on the North Shore, Mid-Island, and South Shore — with a smaller multi-family rental footprint than the other four boroughs. MetroDeeds tracks 64 residential property operators with at least one building in Staten Island, holding 1,698 buildings citywide and carrying 203,816 open HPD code violations between them. The average distress score across this cohort is 74 on a 0–100 scale. The highest-violation operator with a Staten Island presence is SMAJLJE SRDANOVIC, with 18,751 open HPD violations across 62 buildings citywide. Distress scores, violation counts, deed activity, and operator portfolios are recomputed nightly from NYC Open Data. The full scoring formula is published in the methodology.

Frequently asked about Staten Island landlord data

How many landlords does MetroDeeds track in Staten Island?

MetroDeeds tracks 64 residential property operators with at least one building registered in Staten Island. The cohort is filtered to named operators (with personal HPD accountability) holding two or more properties citywide. Multi-borough operators count toward this total if any of their portfolio sits inside Staten Island; the same operator can also appear on other borough hub pages. Single-family owner-occupants and one-off LLCs are filtered out by the manager-suppression rules.

Who is the worst landlord in Staten Island?

By open HPD violation count, the highest-distress operator with a Staten Island presence today is SMAJLJE SRDANOVIC, carrying 18,751 open code violations across 62 buildings (distress score 98 of 100). The full distress ranking is recomputed nightly and the operator’s individual profile breaks down which violations are Class A, B, or C. SMAJLJE SRDANOVIC may operate in multiple boroughs — this list filters by Staten Island property presence, not borough-of-residence.

How many HPD violations are open in Staten Island?

Across the 64 tracked operators with a Staten Island presence, MetroDeeds counts 203,816 open HPD code violations citywide as of the most recent nightly compute. This figure rolls up Class A (non-hazardous), Class B (hazardous), and Class C (immediately hazardous) violations and reflects whole-portfolio counts — multi-borough operators contribute their full violation total here. The HPD violation source dataset publishes daily on NYC Open Data; the borough hub refreshes every six hours.

How often is Staten Island data updated?

MetroDeeds runs a full nightly compute job at 4 AM ET that refreshes every operator’s violation count, property count, distress score, last acquisition date, and flag set. The borough hub page reads from that cache and re-renders every six hours via Next.js incremental static regeneration. Changes to underlying NYC Open Data (HPD violations, ACRIS deeds, OCA evictions, 311 complaints) flow through within 1–2 nightly runs of source-data publication.

Can I download Staten Island landlord data?

Scout+ ($49.99/mo) unlocks unfiltered deed history, $/SF context, and full owner-of-record names. Pro ($149.99/mo) adds bulk CSV export of operator and deed data plus PDF portfolio reports. Enterprise ($499.99/mo) adds programmatic API access for automated workflows.

What's the difference between Staten Island HPD violations and DOB violations?

HPD (Department of Housing Preservation and Development) issues violations for tenant-facing housing-quality issues — heat, hot water, mold, leaks, pests, locks, peeling paint, broken windows. DOB (Department of Buildings) issues violations for construction-code and safety issues — illegal alterations, unsafe scaffolding, unregistered work, expired permits. MetroDeeds’ distress score weighs HPD violations because they reflect tenant-experienced conditions; DOB violations are tracked separately on each operator’s profile page under the Construction & Permits section.
