1270 Fteley Avenue, Bronx, NY 10472

1270 Fteley Avenue is a two-story, five-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1926 and currently owned by Ahsan Elahi. The property has experienced multiple concerning issues over recent years, with the most significant being a fire incident that occurred in August 2021, resulting in structural damage to basement-level joists, removal of finished walls, and window loss at the basement and first-floor rear apartment.

The building has a history of heat and hot water problems, with multiple emergency complaints in late 2022 and earlier instances in 2020 affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. Electrical issues, including non-functioning lighting, were also reported in December 2022. The building's safety and maintenance record shows several patterns of concern, including repeated issues with windows and doors (2021), rodent sightings (with varying inspection results between 2013-2023), and multiple emergencies related to heat and hot water systems.

Earlier violations from 2018 noted unsafe conditions in apartment 2F, including defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, an obstructed egress window, and issues with self-closing doors. While more recent bedbug reports (2023-2024) indicate no infestation issues, the building's overall maintenance pattern raises recurring concerns about basic services. The property has undergone various inspections and received multiple violation notices, including a significant work without permit violation in June 2022 regarding missing fire retardant and exposed floor joists, though this was later resolved with no penalties.
