1227 Boston Road, Bronx, NY 10456
The 5-story, 26-unit tenement building at 1227 Boston Road in Morrisania, built in 1905 and currently owned by Mark Engel, has experienced recurring maintenance issues in recent years, with the most significant cluster of complaints occurring in mid-2025. Between June 11-13, 2025, the building received four separate complaints resulting in violations: issues with paint/plaster on walls, electrical outlet/switch problems, heat/hot water concerns, and unsanitary pest conditions. Earlier in 2025, there were multiple incidents involving heat/hot water problems (both building-wide and apartment-specific), plumbing issues with basins/sinks, and pest-related complaints.
The building's violation history shows a pattern of door-related issues, with violations documented in 2021-2023 regarding self-closing doors in apartments 1C, 2D, 3B, and 5D. Additionally, apartment 5D was found to have mold conditions in 2022, requiring remediation. The property has undergone several inspections and maintenance activities over the years, including rodent inspections showing initial rat activity in 2015-2016, though more recent inspections (2017, 2018, 2022) passed without issues.
The building's heating and hot water systems have been a recurring concern, with multiple complaints and violations between 2025 and earlier years. While official bedbug reports from 2019-2024 show no infestations, the building's pest control history suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The most recent documented violation (2023) involved door repair requirements in apartment 1C, while other door-related violations were resolved in 2022-2023 through proper certification. A permit for electrical work was issued in April 2021, indicating some level of ongoing infrastructure maintenance.
