1137 Wheeler Avenue, Bronx, NY 10472
1137 Wheeler Avenue is a 2-story, 4-unit residential building constructed in 1926 located in the Soundview neighborhood, currently owned by Sumintra Balasar. The property has experienced several maintenance issues over recent years, with the most pressing concerns involving heating and sanitation. In 2024, there were complaints about heat/hot water issues and unsanitary conditions with pests that resulted in HPD inspections, though inspectors were unable to gain access to verify the problems.
An emergency carbon monoxide detector issue, appliance problem, and multiple building maintenance concerns were documented in August 2023, along with violations related to the need for window repairs, paint maintenance, and mold abatement in the 2nd floor apartment (2F). The building has also faced challenges with bedbug infestations, as evidenced by recent reporting in 2025 showing one unit was infested and subsequently treated. Rodent activity appears to be an ongoing concern at 1137 Wheeler Avenue, with inspections between 2018 and 2025 showing periods of both rat activity and compliance passes, though the most recent inspections in 2024 and 2025 indicated passed inspections.
A building stability complaint was filed in August 2023 but was determined to have no violations upon inspection. The property has maintained regular rodent inspections, showing some improvement in pest control adherence over time. The building's age and history as a New Law Tenement, combined with the recurring maintenance issues, suggest ongoing challenges with building upkeep, though some recent improvements in rodent inspection results and the handling of specific violations indicate responsiveness to certain maintenance issues.
