1169 Wheeler Avenue, Bronx, NY 10472

The 4-unit building at 1169 Wheeler Avenue in Soundview, owned by Brandeze Properties, is a 2-story New Law Tenement constructed in 1926 that has experienced recurring safety and maintenance issues in recent years. Between October 2024 and February 2025, there have been multiple emergency complaints regarding safety issues, including broken or missing window guards, and problems with smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.

The building also faced unsanitary conditions in October 2024, with violations documented concerning pest infestations and mold, though specific violations for pest issues and mold were subsequently closed after inspection. The property currently has several open violations as of October 2024, including problems with smoke detectors, window guards, and carbon monoxide detection systems, as well as issues with a self-closing door mechanism and various maintenance requirements.

A notable violation pertains to the lack of proper gas leak notification procedures being posted in a common area. The building has undergone regular rodent inspections, with most recent results from April 2025 showing compliance after previous failures, and there have been no recorded bedbug infestations in the past three reporting periods from 2019 to 2024. While some safety issues appear to have been addressed promptly based on HPD responses, the pattern of recurring safety violations suggests ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly concerning safety systems like smoke detectors and window guards.
