1208 Southern Boulevard, Bronx, NY 10459
The 1208 Southern Boulevard property, owned by John Warren, is a 5-story, 18-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1925 in the East Morrisania neighborhood. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues in 2025, with particularly significant problems related to heating and water systems, including multiple heat/hot water complaints in March 2025 and violations for excessive hot water temperatures in December 2024 (recorded at 180 degrees). There are ongoing concerns with water-related issues, including plumbing problems and mold, as evidenced by both 311 service requests and Housing Maintenance Code Complaints.
Recent inspections in 2024-2025 revealed various violations requiring attention, such as broken radiator problems (Apt 5C) and bathroom mold issues (Apt 5C), with some violations remaining open. The building has a history of rodent activity, with multiple inspections between 2022-2024 showing consistent rat activity, though some inspections passed or resulted in bait application. Additionally, there are several open Housing Maintenance Code violations from December 2024 concerning water temperature issues, ceiling conditions, and window repairs.
The building's maintenance history also includes multiple Boiler-related complaints and a bedbug infestation report in 2020, though subsequent years show no reported infestations. Recent summer 2025 complaints included issues with flooring, plaster, windows, and sanitary conditions, though many of these complaints were unable to be fully investigated due to lack of access. Despite these ongoing maintenance challenges, the building has shown some responsiveness to complaints, with various issues being addressed or corrected as documented in violation resolution notices.
