522 Morris Avenue, Bronx, NY 10451
522 Morris Avenue is a 5-story, 26-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1931, currently owned by Alice Lee. The building has experienced several significant issues over recent years, particularly regarding essential services and safety systems. Between 2022-2022, there was a notable series of emergency heat and hot water complaints, with multiple reports indicating problems affecting both individual apartments and the entire building.
More recently, in late 2024, the building received several violations during an inspection, including issues with fire safety systems, such as defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in Apartment 3B, and concerns about fire escape access. An active violation remains regarding defective self-closing doors at the roof bulkhead. The boiler system has been a recurring area of concern, with violations noted in 2022 and 2024 regarding corrosion, leaks, and safety issues, including a 2024 citation for a partially obstructed fire escape. The building has also faced challenges with sanitation and maintenance, as evidenced by multiple HPD complaints in 2024-2025 regarding wall and floor conditions, including an emergency flooring issue reported in January 2025.
Recent food-related complaints have emerged, including reports of spoiled food and food poisoning incidents in 2025, suggesting potential concerns with adjacent food establishments. While rodent activity was documented in 2022 and 2023, the most recent inspection in July 2023 passed, indicating some improvement in pest control. The building's current status shows both resolved and open violations, including one from 2024 regarding improper maintenance of fire escape requirements and another concerning a broken gate at the rooftop bulkhead. Regular bedbug inspection reports from 2023-2024 show no recorded infestations, and all recent bedbug reporting indicates zero affected units.
