"A late-Sunday fire tore through an abandoned three-story building at 1066 Clay Avenue in Concourse Village, sending flames up the facade and smoke across the block as firefighters rushed in to contain the blaze. According to News 12 The Bronx, the FDNY said the fire broke out just before 9:30 p.m., with flames reported on the first floor of the building."
"Property records list 1066 Clay Avenue as a three-family brick building constructed in 1899, a 19th-century walk-up that has seen better days. Permit filings from late April 2021 reference emergency work after a two-alarm fire that same month, according to PropertyShark, which also details the structure's basic characteristics."
"Online complaint logs from the Department of Buildings show the city issued a full vacate order at the address following the April 2021 fire, and that issues tied to the property go back nearly two decades. Complaints date to 2005, and the most recent, filed this January, reported broken windows and people entering and exiting the abandoned building."

City agencies are expected to review the property's violations and determine whether additional enforcement or emergency stabilization measures are necessary.
