1670 Boston Road, Bronx, NY 10460

This 20-unit, 5-story New Law Tenement building at 1670 Boston Road, East Morrisania, has experienced recurring heating and water supply issues over the past several years. Most recently, in 2024, there were three heat/hot water complaints between March and April, including at least one instance where HPD could not gain access to inspect the apartment. The building had multiple heat and hot water-related incidents in 2023 and 2022, with several emergency complaints and at least one notable series of violations involving inadequate hot water supply.

Specifically, as of January 2023, there was an open Class C violation regarding hot water exceeding 130 degrees in Apartment 2C. The building has also faced plumbing issues, with significant water supply problems reported and addressed in June and October 2022. While the building has generally maintained compliance with rodent inspections, achieving "Passed" results most years since 2010, there was one mouse sighting complaint in February 2023 that resulted in identified violations requiring follow-up inspections.

The property has shown good pest control management in recent years, with no bedbug infestations reported in the last two annual reporting periods (2023-2025), though there were two isolated incidents in 2021-2022 and 2019-2020, both of which were promptly resolved. A potential maintenance issue was reported in May 2024 regarding failure to maintain conditions, but the inspection on June 10, 2024, found no violations at that time. The building has a history of various maintenance issues, including heating system access problems, plumbing concerns, and some historical violations regarding electrical and door repairs in earlier years, though most have been resolved promptly through appropriate inspections and corrections.
