1244 Boynton Avenue, Bronx, NY 10472

1244 Boynton Avenue is a 2-story, 4-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1924, currently owned by Tameshwar Veeria. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues throughout 2024, with multiple reports of unsanitary conditions, including pests and mold, along with water leakage problems. In October 2024 alone, there were complaints about pests and mold that HPD was unable to inspect, and a heat/hot water complaint where access was not granted.

April 2024 brought several serious issues, including heavy and slow water leaks, electrical wiring problems, mold, and more pest complaints, all of which received violations. More recent events as of August 2024 indicate some compliance with safety protocols, including the posting of carbon monoxide detector requirements, smoke detector requirements, and lead paint hazard notifications, though there are still open violations regarding fire retardant materials in the public hall ceiling and a key-operated lockset impeding egress in apartment 2F. The building has undergone rodent inspections consistently from 2016 through 2025, with all inspections passing.

There were two complaints of illegal conversion attempts in 2018 and 2019, but they were closed due to inability to gain access for inspection. Bedbug reports for the past two cycles (2023-2024 and 2024-2025) indicate no infestations. The property received several violations in August 2024, including issues with lead-based paint hazards in apartment 2F and various public area maintenance requirements, though many of these violations were certified as corrected by September 2024. The building has a mixed history of maintenance issues, with some improvements in recent months but ongoing concerns about water, electrical, and sanitary conditions.
