992 Southern Boulevard, Bronx, NY 10459

Located in Longwood, 992 Southern Boulevard is a 5-story, 16-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1912 and currently owned by James Demetriou. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues over the past two years, with emergency complaints filed in November 2023 and February 2024 showing temperatures below 68°F throughout the entire building, though HPD inspections were unable to gain access for verification in both instances.

The most recent major health and safety concerns were documented in November 2023, when multiple violations were issued for Apartment 1B, including the presence of mold in the bathroom (Class B violation), a key-operated lock on the fire escape window (Class B violation), and broken glass in a window (Class C violation). The building's maintenance history indicates ongoing challenges with basic infrastructure, including a plumbing complaint in May 2023 regarding water supply issues, which was investigated but resulted in no violations being issued.

While the property has maintained a consistent record of submitting annual bedbug reports showing no infestations from 2019 through 2025, there have been multiple past violations requiring attention, including a 2021 infestation of roaches in Apartment 1D (Class C violation). The building's rodent inspection history shows generally passing results from 2010 through 2023, with only two recorded instances of rat activity (in 2010 and 2017) among eight inspections, suggesting effective pest control measures in place. Recent violations from 2023 also addressed various conditions in common areas, including the need to remove encumbrances in the public hall and repairs to fire retardant materials, though these were subsequently closed.
