1166 Manor Avenue, Bronx, NY 10472

1166 Manor Avenue is a 5-story, 29-unit residential building constructed in 1929 located in the Soundview neighborhood, currently owned by Leonard Scarola. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with nine documented complaints between November 2023 and March 2024, including multiple emergency responses from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). The building is currently facing structural concerns, as evidenced by three Class C violations issued in March 2024 related to the parapet wall, including vertical cracks and eroded mortar joints, along with issues with window components in the public hall areas.

The building had a confirmed mold violation issued in October 2023 affecting apartment 2A, and multiple sanitation issues were documented in late 2023 including discarded appliances in public areas. The property has a documented history of rodent activity, with several inspections between 2022 and 2025 showing rat activity, though recent inspections in 2024 and 2025 have passed inspection. The building has maintained an active record of bedbug inspections, with no infestations reported in the past five years, and all previous infestations from 2018-2019 were eradicated.

Tenant safety inspections were conducted in 2020 and 2021 with no significant violations noted. Recent structural assessments have identified concerns with the exterior brick facade, resulting in an Environmental Control Board violation in March 2024 with a penalty imposed. While the building has had various maintenance issues requiring attention, including peeling paint and window guard violations in apartment 2A, many of these issues have been addressed and certified as resolved. The most recent building permits from 2018 indicate regular maintenance and repairs were authorized during that period.
