1320 Fulton Avenue, Bronx, NY 10456

1320 Fulton Avenue is a 33-unit, 5-story New Law Tenement building constructed in 1914, currently owned by Michael Besen. The building has experienced recurring issues with basic services in recent months, particularly in early 2025, with multiple complaints regarding heat and hot water throughout the entire building, followed by several water leak incidents involving heavy flow. While some of these complaints were resolved, there are ongoing concerns as evidenced by multiple water-related complaints.

The building's maintenance history shows significant issues requiring attention, with open Housing Maintenance Code violations from December 2024 in apartment E1 related to missing safety devices (smoke and carbon monoxide detectors), excessive hot water temperatures, and some structural issues including ceiling plaster, along with a reported pest problem that was marked as addressed. The building has been subject to various inspections and violations regarding structural integrity, including two complaints about building shaking/vibrating in 2024, though one inspection did not gain access. A December 2024 violation noted concerns about step cracking and mortar issues between the 5th floor and roof, which remains active with an associated penalty.

Historical data shows the building has maintained a bedbug-free status for several years, with no reported infestations in the past five reporting periods from 2019-2025. While there have been periodic issues with rodents, most recent inspections (2022 and 2018) passed, suggesting conditions have improved. The building's energy reporting compliance appears to have lapsed as of May 2019, based on an active violation related to failure to file benchmarking reports.
