1442 Boston Road, Bronx, NY 10460

1442 Boston Road is a 4-story, 10-unit residential building constructed in 1931, currently owned by Keyoumars Keypour. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues between late 2021 and early 2025, with multiple emergency complaints recorded for the entire building or specific apartments. Most recently, a heat/hot water complaint was filed and resolved in January 2025.

The building has also faced various maintenance challenges, including door/window problems in 2022 (resulting in violations), and multiple water-related issues, such as a slow leak and mold concerns in early 2022. Recent inspections in September 2024 revealed several building-wide violations, including issues with the entrance door locking mechanism, roof leakage, and ceiling conditions in the 4th story public hall, though these were certified as corrected by October 2024. The property has undergone regular bedbug reporting, with the most recent filings (2025, 2024, 2023) showing no infested units and confirming successful eradication of the only reported case from 2021.

However, there have been ongoing rodent issues as evidenced by multiple inspections, with the most recent finding of rat activity in February 2025, though bait was applied. The building's management has generally responded to HPD complaints, with most cases being verified as corrected, though there have been instances where inspectors could not gain access. Additional violations from 2023-2024 indicate concerns about roof conditions, fire safety materials, and the need for light-colored paint in public areas. The building's historical complaint record also shows attention to various infrastructure elements, including a boiler inspection in 2019, though no violations were found at the time.
