1121 Wheeler Avenue, Bronx, NY 10472

1121 Wheeler Avenue is a two-story, four-unit residential building located in the Soundview neighborhood, built in 1926 and currently owned by Ahsan Elahi. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past several years, with the most recent concerns in 2024-2025 including emergency door-related issues and a cooking gas emergency in June 2025. The property had significant infrastructure problems in June 2019, including a power outage and heat/hot water issues affecting multiple apartments (1R and 2R), along with various building safety violations including exposed electrical wiring, inadequate lighting over mailboxes, and issues with self-closing doors.

While the building's bedbug reporting record from 2021-2024 shows no documented infestations, there was a rodent activity report in March 2024, though subsequent inspections in 2024 and 2025 returned passed results. The building underwent construction work in 2019, which was temporarily halted by a stop-work order due to permit withdrawal, though this was subsequently rescinded. More recently, there have been multiple door/window-related service requests and inspections in 2024, with one electrical outlet/switch complaint that inspectors were unable to access.

The property has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements from 2021-2024, consistently reporting zero infested units. Regular rodent inspections show mostly passed results, with only one instance of rat activity noted in March 2024. The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing attention to basic infrastructure systems, with both emergency and non-emergency complaints requiring attention from housing authorities and building management.
