945 Fteley Avenue, Bronx, NY 10473

The 4-story, 8-unit building at 945 Fteley Avenue in Soundview, owned by Vilson Lumaj and completed in 2014, has experienced significant maintenance challenges in recent years. Most notably, in December 2024, multiple complaints were filed regarding various issues including ventilation system problems, cabinet issues, mold presence, radiator concerns, heat/hot water problems, water supply issues, wall conditions, pest control needs, and intercom system failures.

These complaints prompted HPD inspections, though they were unable to complete the inspections for most cases. The building has also incurred several Housing Maintenance Code violations related to security door systems, including broken or defective latches at the building entrance door, with inspection dates in late 2024 showing both Class B and C violations. Of particular concern are ongoing issues related to water systems, including multiple plumbing-related complaints and violations regarding toilets, water supply, and radiator problems, which were classified as emergencies.

The building's infrastructure maintenance appears problematic, with multiple violations recorded for failure to file external low-pressure inspections from 2018 through 2023, currently remaining as active violations. In early 2024, specific apartment 2A issues were documented, including mouse infestation, plaster repair needs, mold conditions in the bathroom ceiling, and ceiling painting requirements, some of which were classified as Class A violations. While the building has maintained a bedbug-free status since 2020, the most recent inspection records from August 2025 suggest ongoing maintenance challenges that may affect resident comfort and safety.
