1144 Fteley Avenue, Bronx, NY 10472

The 4-unit, 2-story New Law Tenement building at 1144 Fteley Avenue in Soundview, owned by Chandramaitie Rai, was constructed in 1926 and has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over recent years. Between 2018 and 2022, there were multiple reports of heat and hot water problems, water leaks, and unsanitary conditions including pest infestations, particularly in Apartment 1R.

Significant violations were documented in early 2022 including issues with window guards, plaster surfaces, water leaks, and peeling paint in Unit 1R, though these were subsequently certified as corrected. The building has demonstrated ongoing pest management challenges, with multiple rodent inspections and bait applications recorded through 2023, though a March 2024 inspection passed without violations. Currently, there are open violations regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports for 2022, 2023, and 2024.

The building's recent maintenance history shows improved rodent control measures, with multiple bait applications throughout 2022 and 2023, and the most recent inspection in March 2024 did not reveal any active infestations. While many previous complaints resulted in no violations being issued upon inspection, including heat/water and leak complaints from 2020-2022, the pattern of similar issues suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The building's age and history of various maintenance issues should be noted, though recent inspections indicate some improvements in rodent control and pest management compliance.
