490 Southern Boulevard, Bronx, NY 10455
490 Southern Boulevard in Mott Haven is a 137-unit, 5-story Class A apartment building constructed in 1929 and currently owned by Gregory Finger. The property has experienced ongoing issues with heating and hot water systems throughout 2024-2025, with multiple emergency service requests filed and generally resolved through HPD interventions. In October 2024, several violations were recorded regarding fire escape ladder safety systems on the north side of the building, requiring proper securement of ladder components, though these were certified as corrected by January 2025.
The building underwent various plumbing issues including bathtub and water supply problems in late 2024, and a construction lead dust complaint was reported in October 2024. Significant electrical and safety concerns were noted in October 2024 for apartment 2A, including missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, though these violations were certified as corrected by November 2024. The building's recent history shows relatively few issues with bedbugs, with reports from 2022-2024 indicating minimal infestation (primarily affecting units in late 2019 and early 2022) and no recent cases in the past two reporting periods.
Rodent inspections from 2023-2024 show consistent passing results, following several years of rodent activity detections between 2010-2012. The property has a history of illegal conversion complaints between 2021-2022, though inspections generally resulted in inability to gain access or no violations being warranted. There were two active ECB violations from 2022-2023 regarding unauthorized interior modifications and failure to file final inspections for completed work, with associated penalties. The building's boiler system was inspected in October 2024 with no violations noted, and several permits were issued in 2019 for various work, including sprinkler head installation in the basement.
