562 Morris Avenue, Bronx, NY 10451
The 6-story New Law Tenement building at 562 Morris Avenue in Melrose, owned by Emanuel Henandez and constructed in 1910, is currently experiencing several pressing issues that impact resident quality of life and building maintenance. As of April 2025, there are open complaints regarding unsanitary conditions related to garbage/recycling storage and heavy water leaks.
The building has a documented pattern of heat and hot water problems, with multiple emergency complaints between late 2024 and early 2025, though many were eventually resolved following HPD inspections. More concerning is the persistent rodent infestation issue, with confirmed rat activity reported in compliance inspections as recently as June 2025, and previous inspections indicating similar problems in March 2024 and earlier. The building's maintenance history reveals multiple violations requiring attention, particularly in apartment 8, including issues with smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, entrance door conditions, and plastered surfaces that require repair.
There are also ongoing concerns about the building's internal security and infrastructure, including an open violation related to a damaged fire escape component from 2024. While the property has documented periods of bedbug-free status from 2021-2024, the current maintenance challenges suggest ongoing difficulties with basic building systems. Inspections by the Department of Buildings in 2019 and 2020 related to egress and electrical wiring issues were resolved with no violations found at the time of inspection.
