169 Nicholas Avenue, Staten Island

A 1901 two-family home where the real story is parking and curb space, not the house itself.

A two-unit Staten Island frame home built in 1901 that keeps its paperwork thin. The property generates almost zero building-scoped filings, so the lived-experience read comes from street-level curb friction outside. Two things to know:

The building itself generates almost no filings. The building carries no open housing violations and only two historical complaints on file, both logged on the same afternoon in March 2025 regarding a curb cut and building use. Both were closed, leaving the house with no active enforcement flags.

Curb space and driveway access dominate the local calls. Within three blocks, neighbors logged 102 illegal parking calls over the last year—mostly blocked hydrants and overnight commercial parking—plus another 29 blocked driveway calls. Curb space on this stretch gets competitive, especially overnight.

Quieter signals on this building and the blocks around it:

• 28 derelict vehicle calls and 19 abandoned vehicle complaints were filed within three blocks over the last year.
• 27 residential noise complaints were logged within three blocks over the past year.
