1136 Metcalf Avenue, Bronx, NY 10472
The three-story, six-unit tenement building at 1136 Metcalf Avenue in Soundview, owned by Eli Braver, has experienced several maintenance issues and violations over the past few years, with a particularly notable cluster of problems in late 2023 through 2024. Most recently, in May 2025, there was a reported heavy water leak that prompted an HPD inspection attempt. In October 2024, HPD issued violations related to unsanitary conditions in the garbage/recycling storage areas, and the building has faced multiple housing code violations including issues with mold, electrical wiring, and various appliance problems (refrigerator, gas range) between 2023-2024.
Notable violations include two open violations from October 2024 regarding debris in the cellar and accumulation of refuse in the rear courtyard, and multiple safety concerns in apartment 1R, including pest infestations (roaches and mice), water leaks, and door issues identified in April 2024. The building has a documented history of rodent activity, with inspections showing rat presence in multiple years, though passing inspections in 2022-2024 suggest some improvements. The heating system faced scrutiny in August 2023 when an unregistered boiler was identified, resulting in a $655 penalty.
Inspection records show various maintenance issues have been addressed over time, including multiple repairs and corrections verified by HPD investigators, though some problems persisted through the complaint closure dates. The building's facade maintenance history includes violations for self-closing doors and courtyard maintenance, while the bedbug reporting history from 2021-2025 shows no documented infestations. These records suggest ongoing maintenance challenges, with particular attention needed to water management, electrical systems, and general building housekeeping.
