1218 Boston Road, Bronx

Turn-of-the-century HDFC co-op in Morrisania with active bathroom repairs on file and neighborhood air-quality friction.

Built in 1905, this 13-unit HDFC co-op operates under affordable housing development fund covenants. The building file carries open maintenance violations alongside active sanitation and air-quality patterns on the surrounding blocks. Three things to know:

Bathroom leaks and open electrical wiring mark the active code file. Ten open housing violations sit against this 13-unit building. Five are unfiled annual bedbug report notices, while five Class B orders stem from a 2023 leak in Apartment 3A that left exposed ceiling wiring, broken window balances, peeling paint, and plaster damage in the bathroom.

Odor and indoor air complaints pop up on the immediate surrounding blocks. Within three blocks, neighbors logged four food establishment complaints and three indoor air quality calls over the last 12 months. Fume and odor drift frequently point to shared commercial venting or riser bleed that only surfaces once lived in.

Heavy plumbing and sanitation complaints dominate the nearby streets. In the three blocks around the building, residents logged 246 unsanitary condition reports (mostly pests and mold), 152 plumbing issues, and 148 residential noise calls over the past year. High-density street noise and maintenance calls define the local block texture.

Quieter signals on this building and the blocks around it:

• 10 open HPD violations active on file (5 Class A, 5 Class B)
• 4 food establishment and 3 indoor air quality calls within three blocks
• 246 unsanitary condition calls within three blocks over the last year
• Verification should focus on unit-level moisture history, HDFC resale rules, and board compliance.
