1263 Boynton Avenue, Bronx, NY 10472

1263 Boynton Avenue is a two-family house located in Parkchester, built in 1930 and currently owned by Gabriel Worrell. The building has experienced recurring issues with unsanitary conditions, particularly related to pests and mold, with the most recent complaints filed in November 2024.

These recent complaints (both mold and pest-related) were addressed by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), though inspectors were unable to access some areas in the case of the mold complaint, and while violations were issued for the pest complaints, specific details are available on the HPD website. The property has a documented history of pest-related complaints spanning several months in 2023-2024, including multiple instances where violations were issued. Additionally, there is an active violation from September 2020 regarding the failure to certify correction of an immediately hazardous condition.

Prior to the recent pest and mold issues, the building had other maintenance concerns, including reports of wall problems (paint/plaster) in late 2023 and electrical issues in late 2022, though no violations were found in some of these cases. The Department of Buildings records show three notable complaints between 2018-2022: a construction enforcement issue, an illegal conversion concern, and a report of building shaking/vibration, all of which resulted in Oath Violations being served. While some of the more historical complaints (such as the construction and conversion issues) are no longer active, the recent pattern of unsanitary condition complaints, particularly the recurring pest and mold issues, suggests ongoing maintenance challenges within the building.
