1137 Fteley Avenue, Bronx, NY 10472

The 4-unit, 3-story building at 1137 Fteley Avenue in Soundview, owned by Nandram Nanpersaud, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over recent years, with the most significant problems pertaining to heat and hot water. Between February and April 2023 alone, there were multiple emergency complaints regarding heating and hot water issues affecting both individual apartments and the entire building, though inspections typically found no violations or confirmed that conditions were corrected.

More recently, in April 2023, additional issues emerged including problems with paint/plaster, mold, and plumbing (steam pipe/riser), though again, no violations were formally issued following inspections. The building has also faced persistent rodent challenges, with multiple inspections conducted between 2023 and 2024 showing rat activity, though recent bedbug reports indicate no current infestations.

Violation notices from 2023 indicate issues with building security, including defective self-closing doors and a broken lockset at the entrance, with the latter remaining open as of the most recent inspection. While the building's age (1928) and recent complaints suggest some ongoing maintenance challenges, it's worth noting that many of the documented issues appear to be addressed promptly, with most complaints being closed after inspections or corrective actions. The property has maintained compliance with the bedbug reporting requirements, with the most recent report (May 2025) showing zero infested units for the 2023-2024 period.
