1989 Southern Boulevard, Bronx, NY 10460

The four-story residential building at 1989 Southern Boulevard in Tremont, owned by Rosmy Guzman and constructed in 2003, currently has multiple concerning issues that warrant attention. Most notably, in May 2025, there were simultaneous complaints about plumbing problems (involving toilets and radiators), unsanitary conditions (including mold and pest issues), and various maintenance concerns (affecting floors and cabinets).

Despite these complaints being classified as emergency situations, HPD was unable to conduct inspections at that time. The building has an open set of Housing Maintenance Code violations from November 2024 concentrated primarily in apartment 3, including issues with mold, plumbing fixtures, pest infestation, damaged walls, and defective fixtures, with some violations classified as Class C (immediate danger) and Class B (non-life-threatening but requiring prompt attention). The property's recent history shows a pattern of maintenance challenges, including a December 2024 complaint about garbage/recycling storage and earlier plumbing issues with bathtubs/showers.

While the building has successfully passed rodent inspections conducted regularly since 2014 (most recently in January 2025), it is concerning that multiple recent complaints have required residents to refile service requests after initial inspection attempts were unsuccessful. The building also has a reliable record of compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, showing zero confirmed infestations during the most recent reporting period. The persistence of multiple open violations as of 2025 suggests ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly affecting the third-floor apartment where various infrastructure and fixture problems have been documented.
