1355 Boynton Avenue, Bronx, NY 10472

The two-story, four-unit New Law Tenement building at 1355 Boynton Avenue in Parkchester, owned by Carlos Nina, has a documented history of maintenance issues requiring attention from various city agencies over the past several years. Most notably, the building has experienced recurring problems with rodent activity, with multiple inspections between 2013 and 2019 showing both rat activity and compliance passes, though a recent April 2019 inspection showed no violations.

The property has also faced several significant maintenance challenges, including an unsatisfactory garbage/recycling storage situation in late 2019 that the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) confirmed was corrected, and a heating/hot water issue in early 2019 that could not be verified due to lack of apartment access during inspection. More recently, the building has shown compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with the most recent annual report (filing date December 2023) indicating zero infested units during the 2022-2023 period.

Between 2021 and 2023, the building received three separate violations (in 2021, 2022, and 2023) related to the failure to file the mandatory annual bedbug report, though these appear to have been resolved as of the latest inspection records. The property's inspection history suggests some improvement in pest management, with no reported rat activity since 2019, as the last several inspections have shown either compliance or passed results. While the building has had various maintenance issues over the years, the most recent records indicate progress in both bedbug management compliance and a reduction in rodent-related incidents.
