2449 Southern Boulevard, Bronx, NY 10458

2449 Southern Boulevard is a 2-story, 3-unit residential building located in Belmont, Bronx, currently owned by Scott Shurgin. The 1925 structure has experienced recurring maintenance issues in recent years, with several concerning patterns emerging.

Most notably, there have been multiple heating and hot water system failures affecting the entire building, with emergencies reported in November 2023, February 2022, and February 2021. Water-related issues appear to be significant, with heavy flow leaks reported in September 2023 and previously in 2022, though inspections were not conducted in some instances. Pest control has been another ongoing concern, with violations issued in October 2023 for a mouse infestation and a history of complaints about unsanitary conditions.

The building has undergone regular rodent inspections from 2021 through 2025, most recently passing in June 2025, though there were instances of rat activity noted in June 2021 and June 2020. The property has also faced various other maintenance challenges, including door/windown issues (most recently in May 2023), and violations related to safety notifications for smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and gas leak procedures, with requirements to post proper notices in common areas. While the building is classified as "HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS A," it has shown a pattern of emergency service requests requiring HPD intervention, particularly regarding heating systems, corresponding to four emergency heat/hot water complaints since 2021.
