Augrented Insights Report for 1239 Boston Road

1239 Boston Road is a 5-story, 21-unit residential building located in Morrisania, built in 1912 and currently owned by Mark Engel. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues over the past few years, with multiple complaints in 2022 and 2024 that inspectors were unable to access units to verify the conditions.

More recent concerns include a June 2025 open plumbing/water supply issue, and a January 2025 complaint regarding janitorial conditions that HPD was unable to inspect. The building has also faced various maintenance challenges, including window guard safety violations (March 2024), pest issues (March 2024), and mold problems (September 2022) for which violations were issued. Specific unit violations have been documented, particularly in apartment 5D (2024) regarding door repairs and leaky faucets, and in apartment 3C (2022-2023) concerning heating problems, water leaks, and pest infestations, though most violations have been subsequently closed.

Recent rodent inspections show mixed results, with rat activity noted in 2022 and a failed inspection in 2024, though a following inspection in 2024 passed compliance. The building's bedbug report records from 2019-2024 indicate no infestations during these periods. The Department of Buildings has issued several violations (most notably a $3,125 penalty in 2023 regarding suspended scaffold equipment) and the building appears to have had consistent challenges with maintaining basic services, particularly regarding heat and hot water systems, as evidenced by the pattern of complaints and violations throughout recent years.
