88 Holland Avenue, Staten Island, NY 10303

88 Holland Avenue, a 2-family house built in 1915 and currently owned by Gary Grinberg, has experienced persistent heating and appliance issues over recent years. Most notably, there have been three heat/hot water emergencies in 2024 (most recent in May), and several similar incidents in 2019-2020, with violations documented in both 1st floor and second floor apartments related to inadequate heat and hot water supply.

The building suffered significant maintenance challenges in late 2019, including multiple violations for gas supply issues affecting the kitchen ranges in both apartments, with inspections revealing problems requiring correction under New York City's Housing Maintenance Code. The property has also faced concerns regarding safety equipment, with violations noted in 2019 for missing carbon monoxide detectors in both apartments, though these were listed as certified in September 2023.

More recently, in 2024, there was an active Environmental Control Board violation related to unpermitted construction work involving door and window modifications, with a $12,500 penalty imposed. Inspection records from 2012-2014 showed ongoing rodent control issues, though this appears to have been resolved by 2012. Access issues have occasionally complicated inspections, as seen in some heat/hot water complaints and a gas utility referral in 2023, though these were typically addressed through subsequent follow-up inspections.
