1258 Fteley Avenue, Bronx, NY 10472

The 5-unit, 2-story residential building at 1258 Fteley Avenue in Parkchester, owned by Yoel Shafer and constructed in 1926, has experienced recurring heating system issues over recent years. Most notably, there have been multiple heat and hot water complaints in early 2024 (January 19 and January 23), with one resulting in violations for inadequate heat supply and missing carbon monoxide detector in apartment 2R, as well as a violation for locked boiler room access.

The building also has multiple active violations for failing to file external low pressure inspections between 2018 and 2022, and a 2020 boiler inspection report. Earlier issues include heat and hot water complaints in December 2021, with similar patterns of access difficulties during inspections.

Other notable concerns include appliance issues (specifically a refrigerator problem in April 2023), a pest infestation complaint (also in April 2023) that resulted in a violation for roaches in apartment 2R, and multiple annual bedbug reports between 2021-2025 showing zero infested or re-infested units. The building has consistently passed rodent inspections since 2010, indicating stable pest management. There have been two significant access issues noted by the Department of Buildings regarding gas utility and illegal conversion complaints, though inspectors were unable to gain access on both occasions.
