1167 Wheeler Avenue, Bronx, NY 10472
The two-story, 6-unit tenement building at 1167 Wheeler Avenue in Soundview, owned by Vito Chirico, has experienced several notable maintenance issues in recent years. Most concerning are the November 2023 structural issues, with complaints about building shaking and stability concerns leading to violations regarding missing bricks and mortar degradation above the second-floor window, along with a leaning parapet on the front facade. The Department of Buildings issued penalties related to these exterior maintenance failures.
The building also has a documented history of pest issues, particularly rodents, with multiple inspections showing rat activity in 2023 and 2024, though recent inspections in 2025 and 2024 passed without issues. While the building had several bedbug report violations between 2021 and 2024, the most recent 2024-2025 report indicates no infested or re-infested units, suggesting successful management of this particular issue. The property has experienced persistent rodent problems, with multiple inspections showing rat activity between 2019 and 2024, though recent inspections have shown improvement.
The building's history shows consistent attention to bedbug reporting requirements, with the most recent reports indicating no active infestations. While there have been violations related to bedbug reporting requirements in the past, these appear to have been resolved, as indicated by the property's current bedbug report showing zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units. The building's maintenance history shows a mix of passed and failed inspections for various issues, particularly regarding rodent control, with some inspections indicating active rat presence. However, the property has demonstrated some improvement in recent inspections, particularly in rodent management, with 2025 showing no active issues.
