An anonymous Staten Island-based LLC has filed applications for three three-story, two-family houses at 695-703 Huguenot Avenue, in Woodrow, a neighborhood located along Staten Island’s South Shore.

The Staten Island-based firm Design Build Staten Island Inc. appears to be both the developer and architect.
