1143 Wheeler Avenue, Bronx, NY 10472
The 4-unit, 2-story tenement at 1143 Wheeler Avenue in Soundview, built in 1926 and currently owned by Celia Molina, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there have been recurring problems with garbage/recycling storage, resulting in multiple unsanitary condition complaints to the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) between 2022 and 2023, with the most recent complaints filed in June 2023 remaining open as of September 2023. The building has also faced rodent-related challenges, with three inspections between 2023 and 2024 showing rat activity or conditions attracting rodents, though more recent inspections in 2024 and 2025 have passed.
Heat and hot water issues were reported by multiple tenants in February 2019, though these were resolved within two days of the complaints. Of particular concern is the building's current open bedbug report violations from 2023 and 2024, indicating non-compliance with the Housing Maintenance Code requirements to file annual bedbug reports, though the bedbug filing data from 2022 shows no reported infestations during the 2020-2021 period. The property has undergone regular rodent inspections, with most recent results showing compliance as of April 2025.
Historical data shows some pattern of rodent issues, with rat activity noted in several inspections between 2019-2024. The building's overall maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with waste management and pest control, though there have been improvements in recent inspections, particularly regarding rodent conditions. The heat and hot water emergency in 2019 appears to have been an isolated incident, quickly resolved. While the building has met some recent inspection requirements, the open bedbug reporting violations represent the most significant current regulatory compliance issue.
