1140 Fox Street, Bronx

A 1901 three-family building passing through a series of corporate hands.

A three-family wood-frame house built in 1901 that has cycled through rapid corporate flips over the last few years, leaving behind a heavy paper trail of maintenance issues and open violations. Underwriting here is all about the shell's physical condition and the fast-moving ownership changes. Three things to know:

Four deed transfers in under three years. The house traded hands in January 2023 for $800,000, then went through multiple non-cash title transfers between LLCs and private individuals before being acquired by its current LLC owner for $990,000 in September 2025. This constant entity-shuffling often means short-term holds rather than consistent property stewardship.

Sewer smell and pipe issues inside. A sewage leak complaint in February 2026 was followed by a documented sewage odor in May 2026. Indoor air quality issues like this point to persistent venting problems or riser breaks that won't show up during a quick walk-through.

Heat failures tracked straight into June. While the building holds 47 open violations, heating has been a particular pain point. Residents filed multiple emergency calls for a lack of heat and hot water in the spring of 2026, stretching into late May and mid-June.

Quieter signals on this building and the blocks around it:

• The surrounding three-block corridor is highly active, with 225 utility calls and 182 late-night residential noise complaints last year.
• Local street parking is competitive, racking up 140 illegal parking calls and 96 blocked driveway complaints within the corridor.
• More than half of the neighborhood sanitation complaints focus on pest conditions, totaling 102 calls on nearby blocks.
