1344 Southern Boulevard, Bronx, NY 10459

1344 Southern Boulevard is a 4-story, 12-unit Class A residential building constructed in 2008, currently owned by Erez Levy. The building has experienced recurring issues with heating and hot water systems, particularly notable during the 2024-2025 period, with multiple emergency complaints filed between January 2024 and March 2025 regarding heat and hot water problems affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. More recently, in March 2025, there was a plumbing issue involving a toilet that was reportedly resolved upon inspection.

The building has been subject to several Housing Maintenance Code violations, most concerning self-closing fire doors on various floors, with an open violation noted in October 2024 for a defective fire door on the first story. Previous violations from 2023 included issues with door frames, ceramic floor tiles, and the presence of encumbrances in public areas, all of which were subsequently addressed and closed. The building's maintenance history shows attention to various issues, including a sewage problem in March 2023 and a mold complaint in November 2021.

Inspections have generally passed rodent control requirements, with successful inspections recorded annually from 2010 through 2022. Importantly, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with all annual reports from 2020 to 2025 indicating zero infested units. While the building has experienced persistent heating system challenges, particularly during winter months, the management has typically addressed issues when they are formally reported, though access for inspection has occasionally been a barrier to prompt resolution.
