1120 Wheeler Avenue, Bronx, NY 10472

1120 Wheeler Avenue is a two-story, four-unit New Law Tenement building located in the Soundview neighborhood, built in 1929 and currently owned by Julio Garcia. The building experienced several maintenance issues in 2021, with multiple complaints and violations emerging between March and October of that year, particularly concerning Unit 2F. These included problems with doors, windows, plumbing (including leaky faucets), bathroom fixtures, kitchen cabinets, and various interior surfaces requiring repairs.

Notably, there was a significant violation regarding excessively hot water (160 degrees Fahrenheit) in the bathroom. The building underwent multiple inspections and repair orders during this period, with many issues being properly addressed and certified as corrected by December 2021. Since those issues in 2021, the building's record shows generally improving maintenance conditions. An electrical wiring complaint from March 2022 was not accessed by inspectors, but no further major complaints were filed in subsequent years.

The property has consistently passed rodent inspections from 2018 through 2025, indicating effective pest management. The building has maintained a clean bedbug report record from 2020 through 2025, with no reported infestations or eradications. Recent records up to October 2023 show no major building code violations or significant complaints, suggesting improved maintenance conditions since the 2021 issues. The most recent building activity includes two electrical work permits issued in 2022, and both 311 reports and Housing Maintenance Code violations have significantly decreased in frequency over the past several years.
