1153 Wheeler Avenue, Bronx, NY 10472
1153 Wheeler Avenue is a two-story, four-unit New Law tenement building located in the Soundview neighborhood and owned by Henrich Stephenson. Built in 1926, this brick structure has experienced recurring housing maintenance challenges over recent years. The building has consistently faced issues with bedbug report compliance, receiving annual violations from 2021 through 2024 for failing to file the required reports, though the most recent filing for 2023-2024 indicates no infestation issues.
Multiple violations were documented in September 2018 regarding safety requirements, including missing notices for carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, and window guard specifications, as well as a C-class violation for missing signs related to the heating system key holder. A B-class violation was also recorded in July 2018 concerning defective plastered surfaces and paint in Apartment 1R. The property has experienced some rodent control challenges, with the most recent rodent inspection in June 2025 passing, though there was a failed inspection in April 2025.
Previous inspections had also documented rat activity in March and May 2023, marking these as recurring maintenance concerns. The building has maintained compliance with initial inspections, passing consistently since 2019 except for the recent April 2025 inspection. While the property has exhibited various maintenance issues over the years, it appears there have been improvements in recent compliance efforts, particularly regarding bedbug reporting and rodent inspections, though some violations from 2018 related to safety notices and window guards suggest historical maintenance challenges that may have affected resident safety and comfort.
