About Staten Island Housing Court

Unlike the other four boroughs, Staten Island does not have a freestanding Housing Court. The Housing Part — established as a citywide initiative in October 1973 — is integrated inside the Richmond County Civil Court at 927 Castleton Avenue. Landlord-tenant cases for Staten Island residential property are filed at the Civil Court Clerk's office and calendared into the Housing Part for first appearance and resolution.
