1185 Fulton Avenue, Bronx, NY 10456

1185 Fulton Avenue is a 42-unit, 5-story "New Law Tenement" building constructed in 1911 and currently owned by Martha Fuentes. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues in recent years, with the most significant cluster of complaints occurring in October 2024, including reports of unsanitary conditions (pests and mold), electrical problems, window frame issues, and flooring concerns - none of which resulted in violations. Earlier, in September 2023, there were several similar complaints, with some resulting in violations, particularly related to flooring issues.

The building has documented pest problems, as evidenced by December 2023 violations for a roach infestation in Apartment WIB and termite issues in Apartment FWI, though as of January 2024, these violations were certified as addressed. Multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations were recorded in October 2023 concerning various maintenance issues in Apartment FWI, including flooring, electrical, and water leakage problems. The building's recent history shows consistent oversight regarding inspections and violations, with three separate low-pressure inspection violations issued in mid-2023, though these were later dismissed.

On a positive note, the property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with zero reported cases in the past several years from 2019 through October 2024. Regular rodent inspections from 2010 through 2022 have consistently passed, indicating effective pest management protocols are generally in place. The current building condition suggests ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly with flooring and pest management, though recent 311 complaints have not resulted in documented violations through HPD inspections.
