1034 Ward Avenue, Bronx, NY 10472

The two-story, three-unit building at 1034 Ward Avenue in Soundview, owned by Abu Sahel, has experienced recurring heating issues over the past several years, with the most recent heat and hot water complaint occurring in February 2023. Between November 2022 and February 2023, there were multiple emergency heat/hot water complaints, affecting both apartment units and the entire building, though all were ultimately resolved.

The building has also faced several other maintenance challenges, including plumbing and pest issues in May 2022, though inspectors were unable to gain access to verify these conditions. A significant cluster of violations was recorded in late 2021 for apartment 2F, including roach and mouse infestations, door closure issues, and heat supply problems, though these appear to have been addressed by December 2021.

The property has maintained regular compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with the most recent 2024 report indicating no infested units during the 2022-2023 period. Inspections for rodent presence have consistently resulted in "Passed" outcomes from 2018 through 2025, suggesting effective pest management. The building's conversion status was updated to "HEREAFTER CONVERTED CLASS A." The property's heat and hot water system stability remains a primary concern based on the frequency of related complaints over recent years, though the building's overall maintenance record shows progress, with the most recent violations (from 2024) related only to administrative requirements rather than building systems or structural issues.
