46 Pitman Street sits on Fall River's Pleasant St corridor, a dense stretch of two- and three-family homes and neighborhood businesses between Pitman Street and Pleasant Street. Scottie's Pub at 202 Pleasant Street holds about a 4.5 rating across 200-plus Restaurantji reviews, with regulars calling out wings, pizza, and generous catering portions. PriceRite Marketplace at 866 Pleasant Street draws shoppers for budget grocery runs and ethnic pantry staples. Walgreens at 933 Pleasant Street covers prescriptions and household basics on the same corridor. Saint Anne's Hospital at 795 Middle Street is a short drive south.
Interstate 195 via the Pleasant Street interchange and Route 24 are minutes away, putting Providence roughly 25 minutes west and Boston about an hour north via Route 24 toward I-93. The Fall River Depot MBTA station at 825 Davol Street on the South Coast Rail Fall River/New Bedford Line — opened March 2025 — sits about 2 miles northwest for Boston-bound commuter rail.

Before you apply
What is the monthly rent at 46 Pitman Street Unit 2F, and what is included?
Rent is $1,595 per month on a Tenant At Will lease. The landlord pays water, sewer, gas, heat, and hot water, so those do not arrive as separate tenant bills. You open electricity through National Grid at (800) 322-3223, plus cable and internet. With heat and hot water included, your monthly cost beyond rent stays closer to the sticker price than most Fall River three-bedrooms on the Pleasant St corridor.
How much is the security deposit, and what does M.G.L. c.186 §15B allow?
The security deposit is $1,595, equal to one month's rent. Under M.G.L. c.186 §15B, a Massachusetts landlord may collect at most first month's rent, last month's rent, a deposit capped at one month, and the actual cost of a new lock and key. This unit collects first month plus the one-month deposit and asks for no last month, which sits inside that statute at 46 Pitman Street.
What is the total move-in cost for Unit 2F?
Plan on $3,190 at signing: $1,595 for the first month's rent plus a $1,595 security deposit. Last month's rent is $0. Open a National Grid electric account before move-in day. Bring quarters or whatever payment the basement coin machines accept — laundry is on site but shared among the six units in the building.
What lease term is offered at 46 Pitman Street?
This apartment is offered as a Tenant At Will (TAW) agreement — month-to-month under Massachusetts law rather than a fixed 12-month lease. The tenancy renews each month until either party gives proper written notice under M.G.L. c.186 §12, which is one full rental period or 30 days in most cases. Rent holds at $1,595 monthly. If your employer or voucher program needs a longer fixed term, raise it when you tour with Fortified Realty Group.
How many bedrooms and bathrooms does Unit 2F have, and which floor is it on?
Unit 2F is a 3-bedroom, 1-bathroom apartment with about 850 square feet on the second floor of a six-unit building at 46 Pitman Street, Fall River 02723. The second-floor location means one flight of stairs between the sidewalk and your door — factor that in for furniture, groceries, and trips to the basement coin laundry. The layout is three real bedrooms plus a kitchen, living area, and bathroom.
Is off-street parking included with this apartment?
Yes. This unit includes one off-street parking space at 46 Pitman Street. Confirm the exact spot and whether it is assigned or shared among the six households during your tour. On-street parking along Pitman Street and nearby Pleasant Street blocks remains available as backup, subject to City of Fall River winter snow-emergency rules. One dedicated off-street space is a real advantage on this corridor.
Are pets allowed at 46 Pitman Street Unit 2F?
Pets are considered on a case-by-case basis for Unit 2F — this is not an automatic yes for every animal. Bring breed, size, age, vaccination records, and prior rental history when you apply so Fortified and the owner can review the request. A documented service animal or assistance animal sought as a reasonable accommodation is handled under fair housing law and M.G.L. c.151B, separate from a household pet approval.
Is there laundry in the unit or building?
There is no in-unit washer or dryer in Unit 2F. Coin-operated washers and dryers are in the basement of 46 Pitman Street, shared among the six units. Bring quarters or whatever payment the machines accept and plan stair trips between the second floor and the basement laundry room. You do not need to drive to an outside laundromat for everyday loads, though you share machine access with other tenants on busy weekends.
Which utilities does the tenant pay versus the landlord?
The landlord pays water, sewer, gas, heat, and hot water. The tenant opens electricity through National Grid, Fall River's electric delivery utility, at (800) 322-3223 (outages 1-800-465-1212). Cable and internet are tenant-arranged — many renters on the Pleasant Street corridor use Comcast Xfinity. Because gas heat and hot water are included in rent, you will not set up a separate Liberty Utilities heating account for this apartment.
How is this apartment heated and cooled?
Heat is gas-fired baseboard or radiator, and both the gas and the heat bill are covered by the landlord. Summer cooling is by window air conditioner — there is no central air in this six-unit building at 46 Pitman Street. You supply and install your own window unit for hot months on the second floor. Owner-paid heat keeps your January budget aligned with the $1,595 rent figure rather than a separate winter gas bill.
What appliances come with Unit 2F?
The kitchen includes a refrigerator, stove, and microwave supplied with the unit. There is no dishwasher or in-unit washer and dryer — laundry is handled downstairs in the basement coin-op room. Inspect the refrigerator, stove, and microwave during your tour at 46 Pitman Street so you know their condition before move-in day at this 850-square-foot three-bedroom.
Do you accept Section 8 or other housing vouchers?
Yes. Source of income is a protected class in Massachusetts under M.G.L. c.151B, so Housing Choice Section 8 vouchers, MRVP, VASH, and RAFT assistance are accepted on equal terms with market-rate applicants. Voucher holders complete the same Fortified screening as everyone else. Bring your payment standard and voucher paperwork to the tour so Fortified can confirm the $1,595 rent works for your program before you apply.
What is the application and screening process?
After touring 46 Pitman Street Unit 2F, you submit a rental application reviewed for credit, income, rental history, and references under Massachusetts fair housing standards, including M.G.L. c.151B source-of-income protections. Tour first, confirm the stairs, off-street parking, basement coin laundry, and any pet request, then apply if the numbers work. Call Fortified Realty at (508) 671-7228 with screening questions before you book.
Who manages this apartment?
The property owner manages 46 Pitman Street directly and handles the tenancy after move-in, including rent collection, repairs, and day-to-day questions. Fortified Realty Group LLC is the leasing agent for Unit 2F — Fortified lists the apartment, arranges tours, and runs the application process, but does not manage the building. Call Fortified at (508) 671-7228 for leasing questions on this Pleasant St corridor three-bedroom.
Who do I contact for maintenance and repairs after move-in?
Because the owner manages this building, maintenance and repair requests go to the landlord after you move in — not to Fortified. At lease signing you receive the owner's service contact for heat, plumbing, electrical, and other unit issues at 46 Pitman Street. During leasing, if you have a question about the unit's condition before signing, call Fortified Realty Group at (508) 671-7228 and the team will relay it to the owner.
What is the lead paint status of this apartment?
Lead paint status for 46 Pitman Street, Unit 2F, is listed as de-leaded. Under M.G.L. c.111 §197 and the Massachusetts Lead Law, owners still provide the required tenant lead notification and available documentation at signing. Request the current de-leading paperwork from Fortified at (508) 671-7228 before you sign, especially if a child under six will live in this second-floor apartment.
What is the Pleasant St area like, and how is the commute from Pitman Street?
The Pleasant St corridor is a walkable residential and commercial section of Fall River lined with two- and three-family homes and everyday businesses. Saint Anne's Hospital at 795 Middle Street is a short drive south. Interstate 195 and Route 24 are minutes out, placing Providence near 25 minutes west. The Fall River Depot MBTA station at 825 Davol Street on the South Coast Rail Fall River/New Bedford Line sits about 2 miles northwest for Boston-bound commuter rail that opened in March 2025.
What's nearby for food, errands, and getting around from 46 Pitman Street?
From this address, Scottie's Pub at 202 Pleasant Street handles wings, pizza, and pub plates, PriceRite Marketplace at 866 Pleasant Street covers budget grocery runs, and Walgreens at 933 Pleasant Street fills prescriptions and household basics. Saint Anne's Hospital at 795 Middle Street anchors medical care nearby. Fall River Depot at 825 Davol Street on the MBTA Fall River/New Bedford Line is about 2 miles northwest.
