1361 Boston Road, Bronx, NY 10456

The 5-story, 20-unit tenement building at 1361 Boston Road, owned by Bruce Walker and constructed in 1906, has experienced persistent maintenance challenges over recent years. The most recent electrical issues were reported in April 2025, with HPD issuing violations for inadequate lighting conditions. The building has a documented history of infrastructure problems, including multiple heat and hot water outages (most notably affecting the entire building in January 2022), which resulted in violations being issued.

The property has also faced concerning sanitary conditions, with violations recorded in 2021 for pest infestations and mold issues, though these were subsequently closed. Water-related problems have been recurring, with heavy flow leaks reported in both 2019 and 2022, and plumbing issues affecting sinks in 2021. More recently, the building has shown some improvement in pest management, with no bedbug infestations reported in the last three years (2022-2025).

However, rodent activity remains a concern, with inspections in late 2022 confirming this issue. The building's maintenance history includes several violation resolutions requiring repairs and remediation, such as addressing broken fixtures and repairing plaster surfaces, particularly in units 1B and 1C. While many of these violations have been closed, including those related to water leaks and surface repairs, some open violations from 2022 remain active. The property has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, showing consistent "0" infestation counts for the past several years, which is a positive indication regarding one aspect of building maintenance.
