1118 Boynton Avenue, Bronx, NY 10472

1118 Boynton Avenue, a two-story New Law tenement built in 1927 in Bronx's Soundview neighborhood, is currently experiencing several significant maintenance issues that impact resident safety and comfort. Most notably, there are multiple open violations in apartment 2F identified in September 2024, including missing carbon monoxide detectors, visible mold conditions in the bathroom (over 10 sq. ft.), and multiple electrical issues including defective outlets and switch problems.

The building has a documented pattern of heat and hot water-related complaints, with emergencies reported in April and November 2023, and multiple instances in 2024. Recent plumbing issues have also emerged, with three water supply-related complaints in September 2024, though these were ultimately found not to violate housing laws upon inspection. The building's maintenance history shows ongoing challenges with basic services, including multiple heat/hot water complaints throughout 2023-2024, and various other issues such as ceiling paint/plaster concerns and electrical problems.

There is also an active ECB violation from July 2022 regarding illegal occupancy of a converted cellar space, with a penalty of $6,250 still due. Rodent inspections have revealed persistent activity, with several rat activity reports and bait applications recorded between 2024-2025, though a compliance inspection from June 2025 showed passed results. The building's history also includes one documented bedbug incident from 2022, though it was reported as eradicated. While some complaints have been resolved and inspections passed, the frequency and nature of the current violations suggest ongoing maintenance challenges within the building.
