1015 Southern Boulevard, Bronx, NY 10459

1015 Southern Boulevard is a 5-story, 8-unit residential building constructed in 1931, currently owned by Jose Jacob. The building has experienced persistent heating and hot water system issues, with eight emergency complaints filed between November 29 and December 6, 2024, and another complaint in March 2025, all affecting the entire building.

These heating system problems have resulted in multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations, including inadequate heat supply and hot water issues in apartments 3B and 4B, as well as locked boiler room access concerns documented in inspections from November 2023 through January 2024. The property has undergone various maintenance and compliance challenges in recent years. In 2023, violations were recorded for paint conditions in the 5th-story public hall, roof leaks, and rusty balcony components.

A significant cluster of violations occurred in November 2019 related to tenant safety during construction, including inadequate fire stopping and failure to post required safety notices, though these were later resolved with penalties. The building has maintained a clean record regarding pest control, with no bedbug infestations reported in the past five years, and passed all recent rodent inspections from 2023. While several permits were issued between 2019 and 2021 for various maintenance and improvement works, including emergency work and alteration permits, there remains an open C-class violation related to boiler room access from 2024 that requires further attention.
