1662 Boston Road, Bronx, NY 10460

The 20-unit, 6-story building at 1662 Boston Road, owned by Robert Yakubov and constructed in 2011, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, particularly in 2025. The building has faced multiple plumbing complaints, including a recent water supply issue in May 2025 that resulted in an HPD inspection attempt but could not be completed. Other recurring problems this year have included issues with the floor, mailbox, bathtub/shower, and pest infestations, though inspections generally found no violations.

Earlier in 2025, there were multiple instances where HPD could not gain access to apartments for inspections of various complaints, including concerns about heat/hot water, electrical issues, window/frames, and water leaks. Looking at historical data, the building experienced a major bedbug infestation in 2019-2020 affecting all units, though subsequent annual reports from 2021-2025 indicate successful eradication with no re-infestations. There have been recurring issues with hot water supply, as evidenced by violations in 2018 (Apartment 6B) and 2022 (Apartment 5B).

Safety equipment maintenance has also been a concern, with violations in 2019 regarding carbon monoxide detectors in Apartments 3D, 4C, and 5D. The building's elevator service was investigated in late 2024, though no violations were found at the time of inspection in January 2025. A rodent inspection in July 2023 resulted in a failure for unspecified reasons, while earlier inspections in 2018 showed ongoing bait application. The property has maintained compliance with annual bedbug reporting requirements since 2020, with no active infestations reported in the past four cycles.
