1126 Wheeler Avenue, Bronx, NY 10472

1126 Wheeler Avenue is a 2-story, 4-unit residential tenement building located in Soundview, built in 1929 and currently owned by Kristina Hosch. The property has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, with the most significant being two emergency complaints in December 2024 regarding building-wide heat and hot water problems, and fire escape safety concerns. The building has a documented history of various violations and complaints since 2019, including a 2019 mouse infestation in apartment 2B, multiple door closure mechanism issues (notably in apartments 1B and 2B), and a kitchen ventilation problem in apartment 2A.

A plumbing water supply issue was reported in July 2020, though inspectors were unable to access the premises for verification. Regular inspections for pest control have shown consistent results, with the building maintaining a clean record for bedbugs since 2019, as evidenced by the absence of infested units in the annual reports from 2019 through 2024. Rodent inspections conducted annually from 2016 through 2025 have also passed consistently, indicating effective pest management.

The most recent building-related complaint, which was referred to the Department of Transportation, concerned an alleged illegal curb cut/driveway modification in early 2025. The property has demonstrated some maintenance challenges over the years, particularly regarding building systems and safety features, with various violations related to door mechanisms and window guards noted between 2018 and 2022. However, the building's overall pest management record has been exemplary, with no reported infestations in the past several years.
