1118 Fteley Avenue, Bronx, NY 10472

1118 Fteley Avenue is a 2-story, 4-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1926 and currently owned by Digna Carrasco. The property has experienced recurrent heating system issues, with two emergency heat/hot water complaints logged in January and February 2024. While HPD inspected these complaints, no violations were issued in the February inspection, though they were unable to gain access during the January visit.

The building has also faced several safety and maintenance concerns in early 2024, including multiple violations related to building security and door functionality. These violations involved defective self-closing doors between the street and vestibule, issues with the building entrance door lock, and the presence of an illegal electromagnetic locking device, all of which were certified for correction by February 21, 2024. Additionally, the building had encumbrances in the first-story public hall consisting of household items that required removal.

The property has demonstrated consistent compliance with bedbug and rodent control requirements, with all bedbug reports from 2021 to 2024 showing zero infested units, and the most recent rodent inspections in March 2024 and earlier years consistently passing. Recent bedding reporting requirements were filed in April 2024, 2023, 2022, and 2021, all showing no infestations. Despite the heating system challenges and security-related violations in 2024, the building has maintained relatively good pest control records, with no bedbug infestations reported in the past five years and regular compliance with rodent inspections.
