Augrented Insights Report for 556 Thomas S Boyland St

The 23-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement at 556 Thomas S Boyland Street in Brownsville, currently owned by Mohammod Bhuyain and constructed in 1930, has a concerning pattern of maintenance issues, particularly regarding heat/hot water systems and pest control. Most recently, in May 2025, the building experienced multiple sanitation issues, including mold and pest infestations, for which HPD issued violations requiring correction.

These followed a series of similar complaints throughout 2024-2025, including multiple reports of heat/hot water problems affecting both individual apartments and the entire building, with complaints dating back to November 2024 through March 2025. The building's maintenance history reveals persistent operational challenges, with current open violations as of December 2024 in Apartment A1 regarding rodent and roach infestations, defective light fixtures, and non-functional safety equipment (including smoke and carbon monoxide detectors).

Documentation of rodent inspections between 2009 and 2024 shows intermittent rat activity, with the most recent compliance inspection in May 2024 indicating persistent pest issues. The property has also faced regulatory scrutiny, with active DOB violations from 2019 and 2023 regarding unfiled boiler inspection reports. While the building has maintained a pest-free status according to bedbug reports from 2019 through 2025, the frequency and nature of reported issues suggest ongoing maintenance challenges that require attention.
