AI summary · updated June 2026

The three-unit residential building at 1241 Findlay Avenue in Concourse Village, owned by Arnold Ceca, has experienced significant recent issues, most notably a major structural incident in July 2024 resulting from fire damage. This incident led to a full vacate order and multiple violations citing compromised building doors and walls, smoke and water damage throughout, an open roof exposing the elements, and charred wood joists on the first and third floors. The building, constructed in 1930 and classified as a HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS A property, has a documented history of maintenance issues requiring attention, including a December 2024 heat/hot water complaint that was resolved, a 2021 infestation of mice in apartment 3R, various flooring and electrical issues in 2021, and multiple plumbing and ceiling problems in 2020.

The building's history reveals several concerning patterns, including multiple violations in 2021 related to building safety features such as self-closing doors, window guards, and a fire escape ladder. Water-related problems have been a recurring theme, with heavy flow water leak complaints documented in 2018 and various plumbing issues in subsequent years. While recent rodent inspections in 2025 and late 2024 showed compliance, earlier inspections in 2024 indicated rat activity, and a 2022 inspection failed for other reasons. The building has maintained a consistent record of bedbug reporting between 2020 and 2025, showing no occupied units with infestation during the last five reporting periods, though these records should be interpreted with consideration of the building's current structural status.
