1290 Arnow Avenue, Bronx, NY 10469

1290 Arnow Avenue is a two-family residential building located in the Allerton neighborhood, owned by Rafael Gonzalez and constructed in 1925. The property has experienced recurring heating and hot water system issues, with three documented emergency complaints in 2024-2025 (February, December, and August) all citing problems with these essential services.

In each instance, while the Department of Housing Preservation and Development's investigation found that heat and hot water had been restored, the frequency of these complaints suggests an ongoing concern with the building's infrastructure. The building's recent history also includes an environmental citation in June 2023, where the owner was found in violation of parking regulations in a residential district, with multiple vehicles and parts stored on the property, though this violation has since been resolved with no penalties imposed.

The Department of Buildings conducted an inspection in May 2023 related to zoning non-conformance, resulting in an oath violation being served. The property has had mixed results in rodent inspections, with a failed inspection in April 2017 noting "Other Reasons," though a subsequent compliance inspection in June 2022 passed. While the building's basic structure appears sound with two stories and three units, the recurring heating system issues and past rodent concerns may affect resident comfort, and the recent environmental violation points to potential compliance challenges with local regulations.
