The 4-story, 6-unit building at 1228 Southern Boulevard, owned by Mehmet Capin, has experienced several infrastructure and maintenance issues in recent years, with the most concerning problems emerging in 2024-2025. Most notably, there was a significant boiler issue reported in September 2024, with an active environmental violation issued for a furnace producing hazardous fumes due to a clogged chimney, which carries a $1,250 penalty. The building has also faced persistent heating issues, with multiple heat/hot water complaints in 2024-2025, including one incident in February 2025 where HPD could not access the apartment for inspection.
Apartment 4 has been particularly problematic, with numerous open violations as of December 2024 related to window guards, floor repairs, paint conditions, and pest infestations (specifically roaches), though some violations from September 2024 were subsequently closed. The building has shown ongoing challenges with pest management, as evidenced by multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations and service requests regarding unsanitary conditions and pests between 2024-2025. Safety concerns have also emerged, including recent inspections in April 2025 that identified issues with fire escape, carbon monoxide detector, and smoke detector compliance. While the building has maintained a bedbug-free record since 2019 according to official reports, the rodent inspections paint a mixed picture of pest control effectiveness, with the most recent July 2025 inspection resulting in bait application after previous inspections showed both rat activity and compliance passes.
The property has had various maintenance complaints and violations requiring attention, including door/frame issues (with some violations issued), flooring concerns, and multiple instances of unsatisfactory conditions requiring HPD inspections. An emergency safety inspection in April 2025 resulted in multiple citations, and there are records of multiple 311 service requests throughout 2024-2025 addressing various maintenance needs. The building's recent history suggests ongoing challenges with basic services and maintenance, particularly affecting Unit 4, though many complaints have been addressed through inspections and repairs, resulting in closed violations despite some remaining open issues.
