1128 Wheeler Avenue, Bronx, NY 10472

1128 Wheeler Avenue is a 2-story, 4-unit New Law Tenement building located in the Soundview neighborhood, constructed in 1929 and currently owned by Wen Jiang. The building has demonstrated a consistent commitment to addressing public safety requirements, as evidenced by its passing rodent inspections in 2025, 2024, and 2023, though it did receive a failed rating in March 2024 for "Other Reasons." The property has maintained an up-to-date bedbug reporting record from 2022 through 2024, with all reports showing zero infested dwelling units, though there were multiple Housing Maintenance Code (HMC) violations regarding the timely filing of these reports from 2021 to 2023, all of which were eventually closed.

The building has a history of various HMC violations, particularly significant in June 2018 when multiple violations were recorded involving safety and reporting requirements that were subsequently addressed. These included missing or defective self-closing doors at the entrance, and several violations related to required safety postings, including carbon monoxide detection device requirements, smoke detector requirements, gas leak procedures, and housing information guide availability.

While these violations were all properly addressed and closed, they indicate areas where the building's initial safety compliance was lacking. Since the last recorded bedbug issue in 2024 and subsequent rodent inspections, the building has maintained a generally good record of compliance with safety requirements, though the 2024 rodent inspection failure suggests ongoing challenges in maintaining perfect standards.
