1444 Boston Road, Bronx, NY 10460

The four-story, eight-unit building at 1444 Boston Road in Morrisania, owned by Keyoumars Keypour, has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues over the past several years, with multiple complaints indicating system failures in both 2022 and 2023-2024 affecting the entire building. Most recently in July 2024, there was a paint/plaster issue with the ceiling, which was inspected but resulted in no violations. The building has shown compliance with bedbug reporting requirements over the past three years (2022-2025), with no reported infestations during these periods.

A notable concern is an active Department of Buildings violation from November 2019 regarding the failure to file the annual boiler inspection report for 2017, which remains unresolved as of the latest data. The building's maintenance history shows a mix of resolved and ongoing issues, including a 2024 violation regarding locked access to the heating system in the boiler room, though most recent heating complaints were resolved. Earlier violations from 2019 in apartment 4S included problems with safety devices (carbon monoxide and smoke detectors) and a broken sink waste line, all of which were closed after correction.

Rodent inspections show a generally positive trend, with passed inspections in 2020, 2021, and 2022, though there was one instance of rat activity noted in 2020. The building's overall violation history suggests a mix of both timely repairs and some persistent maintenance challenges, particularly regarding heating system reliability and access issues. Recent inspections and filings indicate improved conditions in terms of pest control and safety device compliance, though the outstanding boiler inspection violation from 2019 represents a notable exception.
