1170 Union Avenue, Bronx, NY 10459

1170 Union Avenue, a 4-story, 7-unit Class A residential building constructed in 2014 and owned by Young Bx 1168 LLC, has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues since its construction. Most recently, in 2024, the building was cited for multiple violations during a July inspection, including improper self-closing doors in apartments 3R and 4R (Class C violations), and unauthorized single room occupancy conversions in apartments 1L, 1R, 2L, and 2R (Class B violations).

Two apartments (2R and 4R) were also required to address unauthorized alterations involving floor-to-ceiling walls and doors, though a more recent violation (April 2024) for this issue was later certified as closed in November 2024. The building has an active pattern of violations related to safety systems and regulatory compliance, including four outstanding violations (as of July 2025) for failure to file external low-pressure inspection reports between 2018-2021.

Historical issues include a 2021 violation for a defective carbon monoxide detector in apartment 2L, a 2019 intercom system complaint, and a 2020 violation for failing to file an annual boiler inspection report (which was dismissed). While the building's bedbug reporting history from 2019-2024 shows no infestations or treatment requirements, and an initial rodent inspection in 2022 resulted in a passing grade, the persistent pattern of safety system violations and unauthorized alterations suggests ongoing regulatory compliance challenges.
