1147 Wheeler Avenue, Bronx, NY 10472
1147 Wheeler Avenue is a two-story, four-unit New Law tenement building constructed in 1926, currently owned by Oscar Mendez and located in the Soundview neighborhood. The property has a concerning record of ongoing pest control issues, with multiple violations related to bedbug report filing requirements between 2021 and 2024, though these violations appear procedural in nature. More significantly, the building has demonstrated persistent rodent infestation problems throughout 2023-2025, with consistent evidence of rat activity recorded during compliance inspections and multiple bait applications.
Between March 2023 and April 2025, there were several instances of rat activity documented through both initial and compliance inspections, suggesting an ongoing pest control challenge. The building's complaint history shows several concerns, though most were investigated and found to lack violations. These include two complaints about water retention/drainage issues in 2024 (one in June and another in April), an illegal conversion complaint in 2022, and a site conditions complaint regarding worker safety in 2021.
Each of these complaints was closed with the determination that no violations warranted further action at the time of inspection. The property has consistently received bait treatment for rodent issues, with the most recent inspection in April 2025 continuing to show some level of rat activity, despite previous bait applications. The building's age and classification as a New Law tenement suggest it is subject to specific regulatory requirements, and the open violations regarding bedbug reporting requirements from 2022 through 2024 indicate potential challenges with maintaining compliance with housing maintenance codes.
