They say the fire broke out around 2 a.m. on the second floor of an apartment building on Arlington Avenue.
Police say an 84-year-old man was found unconscious and unresponsive in a bedroom.
Emergency Medical Service workers pronounced the man dead when they arrived.
The FDNY says two other people were injured, but treated at the scene, and are expected to be OK.
