1779 Fulton Avenue, Bronx

Nine active immediately hazardous violations, including locked boiler access and unresolved pest conditions.

This pre-war property operates as regulated affordable housing, managed by a major regional housing developer. While ownership is stable, the building's current active file shows significant operational friction with nine open immediately hazardous violations. Three things to know:

Active heat hazards paired with a locked boiler room. The building has a high-severity violation from March 2025 for failing to provide heat, alongside an active violation for keeping the boiler room door locked to inspectors. Tenants have filed 16 heat complaints here, with the most recent building-wide outage logged on February 11, 2026.

Failing self-closing doors at unit entries and the roof. There are three active high-priority violations for missing or defective hinges on critical self-closing doors, including the main bulkhead door leading to the roof and a fifth-floor apartment. Working self-closing doors are a major safety priority in the Bronx to prevent smoke from spreading through halls during an emergency.

Active mouse and roach infestations on the upper floors. Inspectors issued multiple high-severity violations on June 19, 2026, to clear mouse and roach infestations in apartment 5A. This follows a similar high-severity pest citation in apartment 4A from November 12, 2024, showing a persistent vertical pattern.

• 🚦 46 traffic signal complaints within three blocks last year, mostly focused on faulty timing controllers
• 💡 43 street light complaints within three blocks, primarily concerning bulbs being out
• 🚗 32 illegal parking complaints within three blocks, mostly for double-parks and blocking hydrants
• Critical systems at the building level need catching up, while the surrounding blocks carry standard neighborhood vehicle and lighting issues.
