1234 Fulton Avenue, Bronx, NY 10456

The 4-story, 8-unit Old Law Tenement building at 1234 Fulton Avenue in Morrisania, constructed in 1920 and currently owned by 1234 Fulton Holdings LLC, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there were multiple heat and hot water complaints in January 2025, including three emergency complaints regarding heat/hot water for the entire building, and additional heating issues were reported and partially inspected in 2024. The building has also faced ongoing challenges with mold and water issues, with unsanitary conditions reported in multiple apartments (notably Apartment 3 in 2024), and recent housing maintenance code complaints from June 2025 indicating problems with flooring, windows, and plumbing systems.

Environmental inspections in 2024 revealed several violations, including defective fire retardant materials and door issues in common areas, though many violations have since been closed. Historical data shows the building had significant safety concerns in 2019 regarding suspended scaffolding and pedestrian protection, resulting in penalties. Recent building safety violations (still active as of 2023) include failure to file the 2022 external low-pressure inspection and an intent to revoke approvals due to unauthorized use of signatures.

While the building has maintained a regular schedule of bedbug inspections (showing no infestation from 2020 to 2024), it has experienced persistent rodent activity, with multiple inspections between 2019 and 2022 confirming rat activity and requiring bait application. The property has a documented history of access issues during inspections, as noted in recent HPD complaints, and multiple code violations requiring various repairs, including work on door locks, smoke detectors, and floor conditions. The building's maintenance history suggests recurring issues with basic services and infrastructure systems, particularly relating to heat and hot water, as well as ongoing challenges with building-wide sanitation and pest control. The most recent inspections and complaints indicate continued attention to safety systems and building maintenance, though resolution of some recent complaints appears to remain pending as of the latest available data.
