1167 Colgate Avenue, Bronx, NY 10472

The two-story, four-unit tenement building at 1167 Colgate Avenue in Soundview, owned by Josh Pfeifer and built in 1927, has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past three years. Most notably, there have been multiple heating and hot water complaints, with three incidents reported in 2024 alone (both in January and March, including one affecting the entire building), though heat and hot water were reportedly restored in each case.

The building has also faced electrical issues, including lighting problems in March 2022 and a lack of lighting in July 2022, with violations issued during inspections. Significant building-wide maintenance issues were documented in a July 2023 inspection, including water leakage in the cellar, defective self-closing doors, and various other violations, all of which were subsequently closed after corrections were certified between August and September 2023.

The building's recent history shows improvements in bedbug management, with three consecutive annual reports (2023-2024, 2022-2023, and 2021-2022) indicating zero infested units or eradication cases. Rodent inspections from 2010 through 2018 show generally passing results, with only one failure noted in 2011, suggesting effective pest control measures have been maintained. While the building has faced periodic maintenance challenges, particularly regarding heating and electrical systems, most recent violations from 2023 have been addressed and closed, indicating responsive management to building code requirements.
