739 Southern Boulevard, Bronx, NY 10455
The 6-story, 45-unit building at 739 Southern Boulevard in Longwood, owned by Ansel Duvivier, has experienced several ongoing maintenance issues throughout 2024, with particular concerns regarding water systems and heating. As of October 2024, there are open violations documented from a November inspection related to water leaks and ceiling damage in Apartment 5E, along with previously issued violations for heating systems affecting the entire building. The building has shown recurring problems with building systems, having registered multiple heat/hot water complaints in 2024 (January, February, and March), and water-related issues including a slow leak (February 2024) and heavy flow (October 2024). Additional maintenance concerns include multiple reports of appliance issues, specifically electric/gas range problems in both 2024.
The property has demonstrated some responsiveness to violations, as seen with the correction of multiple issues including ceiling repairs and unsanitary conditions. However, there have been instances of access-related inspection failures, most notably in August 2024 when HPD inspectors couldn't gain access to investigate an appliance complaint. Historical data shows past violations related to structural elements, including paint/plaster conditions in Apartments 4G and 1F. Inspection records indicate the building has undergone various rodent inspections between 2021 and 2025, showing a pattern of rat activity with some instances of bait application. While the most recent rodent compliance inspection in June 2025 passed, previous years showed intermittent rat activity requiring attention.
Notably, the building has maintained a clean bedbug record since 2024, with no reported infestations in the most recent annual filings dating back to 2021. The building's administrative history includes several DOB violations from 2019 and 2023, though most recent violations appear to be promptly addressed or dismissed. These include instances related to heating system notifications and requirements for proper signage. External inspections have also noted issues with building gas systems in 2019, though these violations were resolved. The property's heating and water systems have been recurring themes in maintenance complaints, suggesting these remain critical areas requiring ongoing attention.
