38 Holland Avenue, Staten Island, NY 10303

The two-story, four-unit family house at 38 Holland Avenue in Howland Hook, owned by Hamid Almaghrebi and built in 1931, has experienced significant maintenance issues in recent years, with the most pressing concerns emerging between February and April 2023. During this period, multiple emergency complaints were filed and subsequently investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), including issues with plumbing (toilets), unsanitary conditions (mold, sewage, and pests), electrical outlets/switches, and window panes.

Most of these complaints were closed without violations being issued. However, there were more serious matters documented in August 2022, including lead paint hazards in multiple locations (walls and ceiling) of Apartment 1, violations regarding excessive hot water temperatures, and various plumbing issues such as a defective waste line at the bathroom washbasin and inadequate cold water supply for the bathtub. The building has a documented history of rodent inspections in October 2010, with both initial and follow-up inspections failing for unspecified reasons.

The property has shown some pattern of maintenance challenges, with multiple complaints about plumbing issues (including toilets, sinks, and bathroom fittings) and unsanitary conditions (including mold and rodent infestations) throughout its recent history. While many of the recent complaints have been closed without violations, the presence of multiple issues in close succession suggests ongoing maintenance concerns. The building's documented history indicates various areas requiring attention, particularly in Apartment 1, where multiple violations were issued regarding lead paint hazards and plumbing issues during 2022 inspections.
