1131 Wheeler Avenue, Bronx, NY 10472

1131 Wheeler Avenue is a 2-story, 4-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1926 and currently owned by Basmatie Tulsidin. The property has experienced several maintenance and compliance issues over the past few years, most notably a series of violations in 2023-2024 related to window guards, pest control, and safety signage. In September 2023 alone, multiple violations were recorded including the need to install/reduce window guards in apartment 2R, address roach infestation in the public hall, and provide various required safety notices regarding carbon monoxide detectors, housing information, and heating system keyholder.

A bedbug report was filed in April 2024, though it indicated no infested or previously infested units. The building has undergone regular rodent inspections, passing all inspections from 2022-2025, with the only failure noted in 2019, when rat activity was reported. Additionally, there were two complaints about illegal conversion in 2022, but access was denied for the inspection in November 2022.

The property has shown improvement in recent years, particularly with recent inspections showing passing results and the resolution of most housing maintenance code violations. Between September and November 2023, multiple violations related to safety notices and signage were addressed, with certification completed by November 2023. While the building has experienced various maintenance issues historically, including pest control challenges and safety compliance matters, the most recent rodent inspections and bed bug reports suggest improved resident conditions. The significant number of violations from 2023-2024 suggests there were periods requiring active attention to building maintenance and safety compliance, though most have been resolved through certified corrections.
