Local Background
Good to Know About Staten Island
General background about the area, for information only. It is not professional advice.
Houses of many eras
Pre-war houses and newer attached homes sit in the same borough, so the scope of a kitchen or bath remodel depends heavily on the house's age.
Contractor licence
New York City requires a Home Improvement Contractor licence from the Department of Consumer and Worker Protection for residential remodeling work.
Lead-safe rule
60% of units were built before 1980; under the federal EPA rule, anyone paid to disturb painted surfaces in a home built before 1978 must be certified in lead-safe work practices.
