1147 Manor Avenue, Bronx, NY 10472

1147 Manor Avenue is a 2-story, 4-unit New Law Tenement building located in Soundview and owned by Chaitram Singh, constructed in 1926. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues in recent years, with particular concerns around heat and hot water systems, plumbing, and pest control. Most recently, in December 2024, there was an entire-building heat and hot water issue that required HPD intervention, and in April 2025, multiple non-emergency complaints were filed regarding plumbing and paint/plaster conditions.

The building has a documented history of pest problems, with multiple complaints about unsanitary conditions and pests in late 2024, though these complaints did not result in any violations. Of particular note is an open Class C violation from February 2024 regarding lead-based paint hazards in apartment 1R, specifically affecting window frames and wall surfaces. The building's infrastructure and safety systems have been a consistent focus of maintenance issues, with several complaints and violations related to basic services. These include multiple heat and hot water complaints, plumbing issues, and concerns about heating systems, particularly affecting resident comfort.

Safety concerns were also documented in 2024 regarding missing carbon monoxide detectors and smoke detectors in apartment 1R, though these violations appear to have been addressed by March 2024. The property has undergone regular rodent inspections, with varying results; while recent inspections in 2025 and 2024 passed, previous years showed periods of rat activity between 2023-2024. The building's management has responded to numerous service requests and violations, with many matters being closed after inspection, though several complaints required multiple follow-ups or resulted in no violations being issued. The property has maintained a consistent record of pest control efforts, with no bedbug reports filed since at least 2021, and recent rodent inspections showing improved compliance.
