1324 Wheeler Avenue, Bronx, NY 10472

1324 Wheeler Avenue is a two-family house located in Parkchester, built in 1915 and currently owned by Eileen Merhai. The property's most significant recent issues occurred during a June 2018 inspection, when multiple violations were documented, including serious concerns about fire safety and safety features. These violations included problems with emergency egress, such as a double-cylinder lock restricting access to the second means of egress in the foyer of apartment 1A, and various illegal locking mechanisms at fire exits and yard gates.

Additional safety concerns were noted with missing or defective window guards in apartment 1A, and pest control issues with waterbugs and roaches were reported on the first story. All of these violations were certified for correction by July 25, 2018, and subsequent inspections, including a rodent inspection on July 24, 2018, showed compliance. Looking at the building's history from approximately 2010 to 2025, there has been a generally positive trend in pest control compliance, with the property passing multiple rodent inspections between 2010 and 2018.

While there was one report of rat activity in September 2010, all subsequent inspections through 2018 showed no violations. The building received its last documented violations in 2018, and there have been no reported housing maintenance code violations since that time. Rodent inspections conducted between 2010 and 2018 consistently showed passed results, with the exception of the 2010 rat activity report.
