The victim was treated at the scene by paramedics but he subsequently died of his injuries.
The dog, which belonged to the man, was taken from the property in Dundonald Street, and was put down by vets.
Police were called to the address by the ambulance service at around 3.45pm on New Year's Day, following reports a man had been bitten by a dog.
DI Jane Webb of Preston CID said: "This is a tragic incident in which a man has sadly died.
"Enquiries are on-going to establish the exact circumstances and my thoughts very much remain with his family who are being supported by specially trained officers at this time."
