1659 Holland Avenue, Bronx, NY 10462
The three-unit, two-story tenement building at 1659 Holland Avenue in Van Nest, owned by Joseph Hasselt, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, in December 2024, multiple urgent violations were documented, including extremely hot water exceeding 130 degrees in Apartment 1, defective self-closing doors, and various safety compliance failures such as missing fire retardant materials in the vestibule, water leaks above the ceiling, and incomplete postings of critical safety information (including smoke detector and carbon monoxide requirements). The building has also faced persistent pest control challenges, with multiple reports of unsanitary conditions and rodent sightings between 2022-2024, though a compliance inspection in August 2024 passed for rodent control.
Water-related issues have been recurring, with complaints about leaks recorded in both 2022 and 2023. The heat and hot water system experienced problems in November 2022, though these were reportedly resolved quickly. Looking at more recent developments, the building's pest control challenges have continued, with multiple complaints about unsanitary conditions in 2024, though these were either resolved or closed without access being granted for inspection.
The property underwent a compliance inspection for rodent control in August 2024, passing the inspection, while earlier rodent-related complaints in 2024 resulted in violations being issued. The building's management has maintained a record of no bedbug infestations over the past six years (2019-2025). The most recent set of violations from December 2024 suggests numerous areas needing attention, particularly regarding building safety and maintenance compliance, with several violations currently listed as open. While some issues have been addressed through inspections and follow-ups, the pattern of recurring maintenance complaints across different systems (water, heat, pests) indicates ongoing challenges with building upkeep, though recent pest control inspections have shown passing results.
