908 Boynton Avenue, Bronx, NY 10473

The 2-family house at 908 Boynton Avenue in Soundview, owned by Jaime Soto, has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, particularly during the summer of 2021. Between July and September 2021, there were multiple complaints regarding heat and hot water problems, with three instances resulting in violations being issued. The building has a documented history of inspection attempts, with several cases in both July 2021 and 2022 where inspectors were unable to gain access to the units.

During the summer of 2021, significant infrastructure and maintenance issues were documented in the basement apartment, including pest infestations (mice and roaches), plumbing problems with sinks and faucets, electrical fixture issues, and a period of summer heat. More recent complaints from June 2022 regarding heat and hot water issues were closed without inspection due to access problems, and the building underwent inspections in 2019 and 2022 that resulted in no violations being warranted. The property's maintenance record shows multiple violations from 2021 that were eventually resolved, including problems with water supply, electrical fixtures, and plumbing.

The building has been subject to rodent inspections between 2010 and 2019, all of which passed. Two Department of Buildings complaints - for an allegedly defective boiler in 2022 and potential illegal conversion in July 2021 - were investigated and found to have no violations warranting further action. While the heat/hot water problems appear to have been the most persistent issue in recent years, particularly during 2021, there is no recorded history of heating system inspections or repairs in the provided data. The building's age (constructed in 1940) may be a relevant factor in its ongoing maintenance requirements.
