1128 Manor Avenue, Bronx, NY 10472

This two-story, three-unit building at 1128 Manor Avenue in Soundview, owned by Shiva Bhimull, has been in operation since 1925 and is classified as a "Hereafter Converted Class A" building. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, most notably relating to rodent control, with multiple inspections showing rat activity between 2023 and 2025.

A recent Department of Health and Mental Hygiene inspection in November 2023 found violations regarding conditions attracting rodents, requiring follow-up inspections. The building faced structural concerns in late 2024, including a vertical crack approximately 6 feet in length in the cement wall, which resulted in an Environmental Control Board violation, though this was marked as resolved with no penalties. The property has a documented history of bedbug reporting requirements, with notices of violation issued in 2021-2024 regarding the failure to file annual reports.

However, subsequent filings from 2021 through 2024 showed zero instances of bedbug infestation, eradication, or re-infestation in any dwelling units, suggesting either improved compliance or potential over-reporting in previous years. The building's maintenance record shows a mixed pattern of inspections, with some passing results since 2018, though the most recent inspections in early 2025 showed improved compliance. While the building's documented violations have generally been addressed promptly, the recurring rodent issues and the recent structural concerns represent the most significant ongoing maintenance challenges as of April 2025.
