1195 Fulton Avenue, Bronx, NY 10456

The five-story, 20-unit residential building at 1195 Fulton Avenue, constructed in 1911 as a New Law Tenement, has experienced recurring maintenance challenges over recent years, particularly related to heat and infestation issues. Most notably, there have been multiple heat and hot water complaints in late 2024 through 2025, with at least three incidents affecting the entire building and two involving individual apartments. The building has also faced significant pest problems, with documented rodent activity patterns from 2018 through 2025, including recent violations noted in May 2025.

Apartment 3B has recorded multiple violations in 2024, including defective carbon monoxide and smoke detectors, while also experiencing water leak and mold issues that were addressed by October 2024. The property has undergone several inspections regarding unconstitutional garbage disposal, including two discarded stoves in the north yard area (August 2024), and has shown ongoing sanitation challenges. The building's management has demonstrated some responsiveness to issues, with many complaints resulting in inspections, though access problems have hindered HPD's ability to verify violations in multiple instances.

While there is a relatively clean record regarding bedbug infestations since 2019, with only one reported case in that year, the building's overall maintenance history suggests recurring challenges with basic systems and sanitation. Recent inspections in 2025 show continued rat activity, with the most recent failed inspection in May 2025, indicating ongoing pest management challenges. The property's housing maintenance code violations and complaints demonstrate a pattern of responsiveness to some issues, though many problems appear to be recurring rather than fully resolved, as evidenced by multiple complaints about the same issues over time. While several violations have been closed through proper remediation, including the repair of safety devices in Apartment 3B, the frequency and variety of complaints suggest ongoing building maintenance challenges.
