1357 Boston Road, Bronx, NY 10456

1357 Boston Road is a 5-story, 20-unit residential building located in Morrisania, constructed in 1906 and currently owned by Steve Zervoudis. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with multiple emergency complaints logged between 2023 and 2024, including two separate complaints in January 2024 and another in February 2024, though HPD confirmed these issues were resolved in each instance.

Significant building violations include an active Department of Buildings violation from December 2021 regarding the failure to display energy efficiency scores, and three unresolved Housing Maintenance Code violations from October 2023 related to fire escape obstructions (flower pots), interior ceiling paint (Apartment 1D), and a defective self-closing door (Apartment 1D). The building has undergone regular rodent inspections from 2010 through 2022, consistently passing all inspections, and there have been no recorded bedbug infestations in any unit, with all reports from 2018 through 2024 showing zero infested or eradicated units.

Previous violations from 2019-2020 in Apartment 5D included issues with various safety features such as carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, and electrical outlet covers, as well as problems with plaster surfaces, all of which were eventually resolved. While there were complaints about electrical lighting issues and mold in September 2023, inspections did not result in any violations being issued. The building's maintenance record shows a pattern of prompt responses to tenant complaints, with most issues being resolved within days of reporting, though some improvements, particularly regarding heat and hot water systems, appear to be recurring challenges.
