1120 Boynton Avenue, Bronx, NY 10472
The 4-unit, 2-story tenement building at 1120 Boynton Avenue in Soundview, which was built in 1927 and is currently owned by Dwight Laird, has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues in recent years. The property was found to have an unauthorized fifth apartment in the cellar, as evidenced by multiple violations issued in 2022 regarding illegal conversions, unauthorized plumbing, and cooking facilities, with an active violation carrying a $6,250 penalty related to occupancy contrary to records.
This unauthorized unit reportedly included multiple bathrooms and kitchen facilities, though features requiring permits, including lighting, ventilation, and safety systems remained problematic. Between July and August 2022, there were multiple housing maintenance code complaints regarding safety systems including smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors, though inspections found no violations. The building's facade was identified as defective in early 2023, with documented issues including step cracks and loose bricks, while a sidewalk shed permit violation from 2023 resulted in a $3,125 penalty.
More recent inspections have shown some improvement in pest control, with the most recent rodent inspection in June 2025 passing, following a period of rat activity detection. The building has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements in 2023-2024 and 2024-2025, showing no evidence of infestations. While building systems and maintenance issues appear to have stabilized somewhat, historical records from 2022-2023 indicate a pattern of delayed access for inspections and ongoing safety and maintenance concerns that affected resident safety systems and building infrastructure.
