dbpprop:abstract
  • The Government of Staten Island, or Richmond County, like the other boroughs which are contained within New York City, includes no county government. Counties within New York City lack the county courts of other counties in New York State. Richmond County is part of a state Supreme Court (general jurisdiction) district shared with Brooklyn, but has its own Surrogate's Court and judges of the Criminal Court, Family Court and the New York City Civil Court, the last having a similar jurisdiction to New York State County Courts for disputes under $25,000, small claims and housing cases. Criminal and Family Court judges are appointed; the others are elected. The District Attorney for Richmond County, currently Daniel Donovan, is also popularly elected, as is the Borough President, James Molinaro (a fellow Republican). The Borough has three appointed Community Boards with advisory and limited administrative powers.
