1133 Wheeler Avenue, Bronx, NY 10472

1133 Wheeler Avenue is a two-story, four-unit New Law Tenement building in Soundview, constructed in 1926 and currently owned by Gertudis Gonzalez. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, particularly in 2022, when there were multiple complaints about heat and hot water problems, including both apartment-specific and entire-building outages, as well as an electrical power outage.

The first-floor apartment (1F) has numerous open Housing Maintenance Code violations from an October 2022 inspection, including issues with bathroom mold, problems with smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and the need for various repairs to address defective ceiling and wall surfaces, broken window sashes, and kitchen tile issues. This unit also had cited deficiencies in hot water supply and a reported mouse infestation. The building's more recent history shows some improvement, with rodent inspections in 2023 through 2025 resulting in either "Passed" results or "Rat Activity." Bedbug reporting requirements appear to have been complied with in 2024, showing no infestation during the reporting period.

While there have been no new substantial building-wide issues reported since 2022, the persistence of open violations from late 2022 and the pattern of multiple utility-related complaints during that period suggest historical maintenance challenges. Recent inspections have shown consistent compliance with rodent control requirements, suggesting improved pest management. The most recent bedbug report from July 2024 indicates no current infestations or previous eradications during the reporting period.
