1129 Fteley Avenue, Bronx, NY 10472

1129 Fteley Avenue is a 2-story, 4-unit New Law Tenement building located in Soundview and built in 1928, currently owned by Alvis Newell. The building has experienced persistent issues with regulatory compliance over recent years, particularly regarding bedbug reporting requirements, with open Class A violations noted in each of the last four annual inspections from 2021 through 2024, indicating the owner has failed to submit the mandatory annual bedbug reports as required under the Housing Maintenance Code.

The building had multiple violations identified in March 2018 related to Apartment 2R, including open Class B violations for broken plaster surfaces, defective kitchen gas burner pilot light, and missing safety devices. These violations included safety concerns such as the need for repairs to window guards, carbon monoxide detecting devices, and smoke detectors, along with a pest control issue involving roaches.

On a more positive note, recent inspections have shown improvement in rodent control, with the building passing inspections in 2024, 2023, and 2022, following a failed initial inspection in August 2017 for unspecified reasons. The most recent inspection results from 2024 and 2023 indicate compliance with rodent control measures, suggesting improved pest management practices, though the persistent bedbug reporting violations remain an open issue that spans multiple years and different ownerships.
