2708 Holland Avenue, Bronx, NY 10467

The three-unit, two-story residential building at 2708 Holland Avenue in Allerton, owned by Jose Heredia, has experienced significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most concerning are the multiple open violations from April 2024 related to pest infestations (including mice and roaches), a missing smoke detector, carbon monoxide detector issues, and necessitated repairs to bathroom fixtures in apartment 2L.

The building has a troubling pattern of heating and hot water problems, with multiple emergency complaints filed in 2020 and 2023, though inspections often found no violations. Between April 19-26, 2023, there were multiple complaints about unsanitary conditions (specifically pests), plumbing issues, and heating concerns, leading to several violations being issued by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). The property's history also reveals concerns about unauthorized unit modifications, with complaints about illegal conversion and unauthorized work filed in 2019, though inspectors were unable to gain access to verify these claims.

However, recent rodent inspections in 2024 (as well as 2022, 2017, and 2013) have passed, indicating some improvement in pest control. The building's maintenance records show consistent issues, with multiple 311 service requests regarding heating, plumbing, and pest problems. As of now, there are several open violations requiring attention, particularly concerning safety equipment like smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors, as well as ongoing pest control needs.
