1560 Boone Avenue, Bronx, NY 10460

The 164-unit, 13-story residential building at 1560 Boone Avenue in East Morrisania, completed in 2015 and currently owned by Compass Two A LLC, has experienced several concerning issues in recent years. Most notably, from April to June 2025, there were multiple unresolved plumbing problems, particularly involving water supply issues, with at least 10 emergency service requests related to plumbing between June 25 and June 27, 2025.

The building has also faced persistent pest and sanitation challenges, with ongoing rodent issues documented through multiple failed inspections between 2020 and 2025, and a recent June 2025 complaint about unsanitary conditions involving animals. Housing maintenance code violations from December 2024 revealed serious concerns, including rodent and roach infestations in multiple apartments (2B and 12K), water and mold issues (including mold over 10 square feet in bathroom), and various maintenance problems including broken appliances and fixtures in several units.

The building's history also shows ongoing infrastructure and safety maintenance challenges, with multiple Department of Buildings (DOB) violations indicating failure to file required inspections and certifications, particularly regarding external low-pressure inspections from 2019 to 2021, though these violations remain active as of January 2025. While the building has passed some inspections, including a November 2024 rodent inspection and an earlier inspection of an electric/gas range in April 2025, the overall pattern of repeated maintenance issues, particularly relating to plumbing, pests, and building safety systems, suggests ongoing challenges with building upkeep. Recent health department involvement due to unsanitary conditions and multiple instances of failed housing preservation inspections further underscore these concerns, though some recent complaints have been classified as non-emergency or attempted inspections where access was not granted.
