1157 Fteley Avenue, Bronx, NY 10472

The 2-story, 4-unit New Law Tenement building at 1157 Fteley Avenue in Soundview, owned by Eshwar Maygoo, has experienced several maintenance challenges in recent years, with the most pressing issues emerging in late 2024. Between November 6 and November 25, 2024, multiple service requests were filed concerning unsanitary conditions (mold and pests), ceiling paint/plaster issues, and electrical problems, though HPD inspectors were reportedly unable to gain access for inspections in these cases. Additionally, there were concerns about a water leak and electrical issues that remained unresolved through May 2025 due to similar access problems.

Looking further back, the building faced significant issues in January 2019 with heat/hot water and water leak complaints, both of which also suffered from access issues during inspections. The building has maintained compliance with essential safety inspections over the years, with successful rodent inspections passed in 2024, 2023, 2022, 2010, and 2013, though there was one failed inspection in 2017. Bedbug reporting requirements have been regularly addressed, with the most recent filing in December 2023 showing no infested units during the 2022-2023 reporting period.

Two violations related to bedbug reporting requirements were issued in 2022 and 2023, while a 2023 violation remains open. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of inspection access issues, as evidenced by multiple complaints where inspectors were unable to complete their evaluations, suggesting a recurring challenge in addressing resident-reported issues. While the building has been actively monitored for pests and moisture issues, as evidenced by multiple inspections and complaint filings, the recent cluster of unresolved complaints from late 2024 indicates current maintenance challenges. The owner's name appears consistently in records as Eshwar Maygoo.
