3042 Holland Avenue, Bronx, NY 10467

The 3042 Holland Avenue building in Williamsbridge, a 4-story New Law Tenement constructed in 1926 with 13 units, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most notably, in June 2024, a Department of Health complaint regarding construction lead dust in common areas and apartments was filed and remains in progress. The building has faced recurring heat and hot water problems, with multiple emergency complaints in late 2023 and subsequent violations regarding inadequate hot water supply in Apartment 2.

Multiple unsanitary conditions were documented in October 2023, including pest infestations and mold, with associated HPD violations. There are several open Housing Maintenance Code violations from late 2023, particularly affecting Apartments 2 and 4, involving issues with bathroom fixtures, security devices, carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, and water leakage. The building's systems and safety compliance have also been a concern, with numerous violations related to electrical, plumbing, and general maintenance issues throughout 2023-2024. These include problems with lighting, water supply, radiator maintenance, and general sanitary conditions.

The property has shown a pattern of rodent activity, with inspections between 2016 and 2024 often reporting rat activity, though bait was applied in May 2024. While there were some violations related to boiler inspections between 2019-2023, these were subsequently dismissed. The building owner, David Cleghorn, has permitted recent work, including two emergency work permits issued in March 2024, though an active Department of Buildings Environmental Control Board violation related to hazardous sidewalk conditions from August 2024 remains open with a $2,500 penalty. Notably, there have been no reported bedbug infestations since 2020, and the property has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements through 2024.
