947 Fteley Avenue, Bronx, NY 10473

The 10-unit, 4-story building at 947 Fteley Avenue in Soundview, owned by Vilson Lumaj, has experienced recurring maintenance issues since its construction in 2015. Most notably, there have been multiple complaints regarding heat and hot water systems, with emergency complaints filed in January, March, and December 2025, though inspections were often met with access challenges. There are also ongoing concerns about door and window conditions, with violations issued in May 2025 and an open complaint from January 2025 regarding a window frame issue.

The building has accumulated several Department of Buildings (DOB) violations related to boiler maintenance, with active violations for failure to file annual low pressure inspections from 2018 through 2023. Apartment 2A has documented violations from a December 2024 inspection, including issues with water leaks, heating system inadequacies, and various repair needs, all of which were certified for correction in January 2025. The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in the past four annual reporting periods from 2020 to 2025, including the most recent filing for 2023-2024. The property has experienced multiple service request patterns, with the most recent issues in 2025 focusing on door/window conditions and heat/hot water systems.

While some complaints have been resolved through HPD inspections, several violations remain open or have required multiple service requests to address. The building's relatively new construction (2015) status is notable, as most of these issues should typically be less common in newer buildings, suggesting potential ongoing maintenance challenges. The building's heating system appears to be a recurring problem, with multiple complaints filed across different months in 2024-2025, though access issues have often prevented proper investigation. The water leak issues in Apartment 2A, documented through multiple violations, indicate ongoing maintenance needs that have required attention from multiple regulatory agencies.
