1207 Beach Avenue, Bronx, NY 10472

1207 Beach Avenue is a two-family residential building located in Soundview, Bronx, constructed in 1915 and currently owned by Fairview Properties Ny Llc. The property has experienced several notable issues over the past decade, particularly regarding heating and hot water systems, with multiple complaints logged through 2018 and 2019 showing inadequate heat and hot water affecting both apartments.

During this period, numerous Housing Maintenance Code violations were issued, particularly in December 2018 and January 2019, affecting both the first and second floors (1A and 2A apartments). More recent concerns include rodent-related issues, with inspections in 2022 showing violations, and a 2025 complaint regarding a food establishment issue with the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. The building's history also reveals significant safety concerns, including the absence of functioning smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in 2019, and a series of environmental violations related to an illegally installed illuminated business accessory canopy in 2023 (currently active, with a $6,250 penalty).

There are multiple active violations from the Department of Buildings regarding work done without proper permits, including unauthorized construction of metal stud walls, electrical work, and plumbing modifications. A 2018 complaint about an unauthorized Class "A" apartment conversion in the cellar was documented but remains unresolved in terms of current occupancy status. Recent inspection records show a persistent pattern of maintenance issues, particularly regarding basic services like heat and hot water, with many violations remaining open as of 2023, suggesting ongoing challenges with building systems and compliance with housing maintenance standards.
