2911 Holland Avenue, Bronx, NY 10467

2911 Holland Avenue is a two-story, four-unit residential building in Allerton, built in 1931 and currently owned by Alexander Joiles. The property has experienced a series of maintenance and safety issues over the past two years, with the most significant cluster of problems occurring in April 2024, including issues with smoke detectors, window guards, heat/hot water, and water leaks. Multiple complaints from 2023-2024 indicate difficulties with building systems and safety equipment, particularly in the first-floor apartment (1F), which has open violations related to water leaks, carbon monoxide detector issues, and pest problems.

The building has also experienced recurring heat/hot water access issues, with HPD often unable to gain access for inspections. Additional concerns include a sewage odor reported in April 2024, and various plumbing issues documented in late 2023. Recent building maintenance documentation shows that some conditions have been addressed, particularly the window guard and water leak issues in April 2024, though several violations from December 2023 remain open.

The property has passed recent rodent inspections (2023, 2022) after a period of rat activity in 2012-2013, and the bedbug report for 2022-2023 indicates no infestations during that period. While the building has shown some improvement in recent inspections, the persistence of open violations and safety equipment issues suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The most recent bedbug report (filed August 2024) indicates zero infested units, with no records of re-infestation during the reporting period.
