1007 Southern Boulevard, Bronx, NY 10459

1007 Southern Boulevard is a 5-story, 8-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1928 and currently owned by James Demetriou. The building has experienced recurring heating issues in early 2025, with five documented heat/hot water complaints between February 3 and February 21, all classified as emergencies, though most were subsequently closed with indications of resolution. There are also significant ongoing safety concerns in apartment 5S, with open violations recorded in December 2024 for missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, as well as multiple maintenance issues including broken floors and tiles in various rooms.

The property has a documented history of maintenance challenges, including multiple paint/plaster complaints (both in apartment 5S and throughout the building), a period of construction lead dust issues (opened December 2024), and past plumbing and mold problems in apartment 2N (May 2024). A concerning pattern of rodent inspection results is evident, with failed inspections noted in 2021 and November 2023, though a compliance inspection in January 2024 passed. The building's environmental compliance record includes active violations as of 2023 regarding window A/C unit support brackets and an outstanding issue related to improper vent/exhaust conditions.

While the building has maintained a zero infestation status for bedbugs in the most recent reporting periods (2022-2025), it did have documented infestations in 2019-2020. The property has undergone various inspections and departments have been involved in addressing multiple issues, though some violations remain open as of the latest available data. The building's compliance history shows a mix of resolved and ongoing issues, with particular attention needed regarding the current violations in apartment 5S and the recurring heating system problems.
