1160 Wheeler Avenue, Bronx, NY 10472

1160 Wheeler Avenue is a 2-story, 4-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1929, currently owned by Alicia Laing and located in the Soundview neighborhood of the Bronx. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues over recent years, with significant plumbing and pest problems emerging as consistent concerns. The most recent documented violations, from March-April 2022, primarily affected the 2nd floor apartment (2F) and included issues with roach and mouse infestations, as well as multiple plumbing problems involving bathtubs, sinks, and radiator systems.

While some violations from this period were eventually resolved, certain pest-related violations remained open as of the last inspection. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of vermin-related challenges, with multiple 311 complaints regarding unsanitary conditions and pests, particularly in 2022. However, recent bedbug reports (2022-2025) indicate no infestations during the past three years.

The property has undergone regular rodent inspections, with the most recent results from April 2025 showing compliance with rat activity standards, despite earlier findings of rat activity in 2024 and 2019. Building maintenance records also reveal various plumbing and hardware issues, including water damage, door/window problems, and the need for structural repairs. The property has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, showing no documented infestations during any of the reporting periods from 2018-2025, though there have been six separate years of reporting between 2018-2025 showing zero infestation status in all units.
