1057 Manor Avenue, Bronx, NY 10472

The 2-story, 4-unit building at 1057 Manor Avenue in Soundview, built in 1926 and owned by Shantaram Rai, has experienced several maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most notably, there was a heating/hot water complaint in March 2025 and multiple ventilation system complaints in February 2023, though no violations were found in the latter cases.

Three significant issues emerged in January-February 2023: a water leak (with violations issued), unsanitary conditions related to pests (with violations issued), and potential lead paint concerns in the ceiling. The building has also been dealing with persistent issues in Apartment 1R, including a currently open Class C violation for cockroach infestation, and various safety concerns such as defective fire egress, inoperable smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and a water leak in the bathroom ceiling, though many previous violations from 2023 were closed after certification. The property has maintained generally good conditions in terms of rodent control, passing multiple inspections from 2016 through 2025.

However, there are two open Class A violations from 2023-2024 regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required under the Housing Maintenance Code. Historical complaints include a garbage storage issue in 2021 with violations issued, and a flooring complaint that was noted as a duplicate of another tenant's complaint. While the building has shown some improvements in recent years, the presence of open violations and past issues with heating, pests, and water systems suggests ongoing maintenance challenges.
