1916 Holland Avenue, Bronx, NY 10462

The two-story New Law Tenement building at 1916 Holland Avenue in the Van Nest neighborhood, owned by David Martinez, was constructed in 1925 and contains 4 units. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years, most notably a heat and hot water emergency situation in October 2018 that affected Apartment 1R, along with inadequate heat/hot water problems documented by HPD.

Access issues hampered inspection efforts during this period, although violations were ultimately confirmed through other means. The building has had recurring issues with bedbug reporting compliance, receiving violations in 2022, 2023, and 2024 for failing to file annual bedbug reports, though the most recent filings showed no infested units or instances of eradication or re-infestation. Additional violations from 2018 included a locked boiler room access issue, missing smoke detector requirement notices, and inadequate posting of the Housing Information Guide and carbon monoxide detector requirements in the first-story public hall.

Fortunately, the building has shown positive improvements in recent inspections, passing a rodent inspection in January 2023, and the more recent bedbug reports (2023 and 2024) indicate improved compliance with no reported infestations. The most recent indoor air quality complaint from April 2020 regarding ventilation issues was closed with an advisory to the owner, though no subsequent complaints have been filed in this category. While the building has documented various maintenance and compliance issues, the most recent records suggest improved conditions, with no major outstanding violations as of the latest inspections.
