1216 Tinton Avenue is a two-family house located in Morrisania, built in 1910 and currently owned by Luis Garcia. The property has experienced several significant issues in recent years, with the most concerning being structural damage and safety concerns following a fire in a neighboring building in August 2023, which resulted in three active violations related to compromised structure, fire damage, and the need for inspection reports.

In 2022, there was a cluster of maintenance and safety issues, including unsanitary conditions (pests and mold), electrical wiring problems, safety concerns regarding smoke detectors, and various plumbing and bathroom-related issues, though most of these violations were addressed by August 2022. The building faced heating and hot water issues in January 2022 and experienced problems with its fire escape in late 2019, though these were resolved. Rodent inspections from 2010 through 2022 consistently passed, indicating no significant vermin issues during this period.

Most recently, in 2023, there were multiple complaints regarding building conditions, including construction-related concerns and potential structural stability issues. The building is currently facing active violations as of October 2023 related to fire damage and structural concerns, with requirements for inspection reports and oversight by a New York State Professional Engineer. The property's maintenance history shows a mix of addressed violations and ongoing concerns, particularly regarding safety systems, plumbing, and occasional pest issues, with the most pressing current concerns relating to the recent fire-related structural issues.
