1410 Prospect Avenue, Bronx, NY 10459

1410 Prospect Avenue, a 4-story, 13-unit residential building in Morrisania built in 1904 and currently owned by Keyoumars Keypour, has experienced ongoing heating system challenges throughout 2025, with multiple Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) complaints regarding lack of heat and hot water. Between January and March 2025, at least ten separate complaints were filed, most of which were related to building-wide heating issues and some regarding individual units.

HPD inspections faced access issues in several cases, though some complaints were closed after occupants confirmed restoration of services. The building also has a history of maintenance concerns, particularly in apartment 1D, where violations were documented in late 2024 including issues with a defective kitchen sink cabinet, window guards, ceiling plaster and paint, and missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. These violations were certified as corrected in early 2025.

The property has faced several compliance challenges over the years, including multiple failed attempts to gain access for inspections related to boiler and gas utility matters, and various Department of Buildings violations. Notably, between 2018 and 2019, there were multiple Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations related to failure to comply with commissioner's orders, with some still showing as active with associated penalties. The building has shown consistent evidence of rodent activity in inspections from 2018 through 2022, though there have been no bedbug infestations reported in the last several years, with the most recent inspection reports showing zero infested units between 2021 and 2025.
