943 Fteley Avenue, Bronx, NY 10473

The four-story, seven-unit residential building at 943 Fteley Avenue in Soundview, owned by Geraldo Zefi, was constructed in 2014 and has experienced several notable maintenance issues over the years. Most recently, in January 2024, there was a significant water leak with heavy flow that resulted in violations being issued, particularly affecting Apartment 2A.

This unit has also been cited for multiple violations as of June 2024, including a defective bathroom sink and issues with plastered surfaces and paint in both the bathroom and a second room. The building has a documented history of heating system problems, with complaints filed in 2019 and 2021 regarding lack of heat and hot water, though these issues were reportedly resolved shortly after complaints were made. The property has accumulated several Department of Buildings violations that remain active as of 2025, including five violations issued in 2023 for failure to file external low-pressure inspections ranging from 2018 to 2023.

Previously, there was a similar violation in 2020 regarding an unfiled boiler inspection from 2017, though that was dismissed. The building has maintained good records regarding pest control, with no reported bedbug infestations in any of the six annual filings between 2019 and 2025, and passed rodent inspections in 2010. While the building's annual bedbug reporting and rodent control records are exemplary, the ongoing violations related to external inspections and recent water leak issues suggest some areas of maintenance concern, particularly in Apartment 2A.
