1230 Boston Road, Bronx, NY 10456

1230 Boston Road is a 5-story, 20-unit New Law tenement building constructed in 1909, currently owned by Pedro Torres. The building has experienced several maintenance issues over the past two years, with the most concerning being multiple violations issued in October 2024 for plumbing (basin/sink), mold, paint/plaster (wall), and sanitary conditions.

Specifically, apartment 25 was identified as having several violations related to lead paint hazards, including peeling paint on various surfaces such as walls, ceilings, and door frames. The building's maintenance history reveals recurring problems with electrical systems, including multiple outlet/switch complaints in 2024, though inspections did not find violations in most cases. Additional issues have included pest infestations (with one documented case in 2019), rodent activity (noted in multiple inspections between 2015-2022), and previous violations related to the boiler system in 2019.

The property has undergone several inspections and received various violations over the years, including three Department of Buildings complaints: an illegal conversion complaint in 2023, an SRO illegal work complaint in 2020, and a boiler-related complaint in 2019, all of which were resolved with various outcomes. While the building has shown some improvement in recent years, as evidenced by consistent bedbug-free reports since 2019 and recent rodent control compliance, the recurring nature of maintenance issues, particularly regarding lead paint and plumbing problems, suggests ongoing challenges with building upkeep. The most recent complaints in late 2024 involved paint/plaster issues, though in one case inspectors were unable to gain access to the reported rooms, resulting in no violations being issued.
