203-24 Hollis Avenue, Queens, NY 11412

The 20-unit, 2-story residential building at 203-24 Hollis Avenue in St. Albans, owned by Hollis Lease Hold LLC, has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, in mid-2025, multiple complaints were filed regarding building condition issues including problems with the bell/buzzer/intercom system, wall paint/plaster conditions, and cabinets, though inspections were unable to be completed for several of these complaints.

Two more serious complaints from the same period regarding windows and doors were investigated, resulting in violations being issued. The building has documented issues with self-closing doors, particularly in the vestibule area, which have been a recurring problem since at least 2022. A significant pest problem was reported in 2021 affecting Apartment 2B, though subsequent inspections in 2022 and 2023 showed no violations related to pests or unsanitary conditions, with the most recent inspection in 2025 also passing rodent inspection.

The building underwent a low-pressure inspection in 2023 which resulted in a violation that was dismissed in late 2024. The property has maintained an active bedbug reporting history since 2019, with the most recent reports (2022-2025) showing zero infested units, suggesting successful eradication efforts following an initial infestation of all units in 2019. Recent building violations primarily focus on door-related issues and wall maintenance, with open violations as of October 2024 related to concrete tread repairs and proper signage requirements in the first-story public hall. The building has generally passed inspections from HPD and DOHMH regarding unsanitary conditions and pest control since 2022, though recent complaints indicate ongoing maintenance issues requiring attention.
