425 East 161st Street, Bronx, NY 10451

The nine-story building at 425 East 161st Street in Morrisania, owned by Camille Morrison and completed in 2017, has had several maintenance and compliance issues over its operation. Most recently, in March 2025, there were multiple complaints regarding paint and plaster issues on walls and ceilings, with one of these resulting in violations that required correction by the owner. In late 2024, there were several complaints about unsanitary conditions including mold and pest issues, though inspectors often faced access challenges.

The building's history includes regular rodent inspection passes between 2015 and 2022, suggesting some level of pest control maintenance. Significant violations have been documented, including multiple instances requiring bedbug reporting between 2019 and 2024, though recent filings indicate no current infestations. Building systems maintenance appears to be an ongoing concern, with the most recent active violation from February 2024 regarding failure to file the FISP Cycle 9C technical report.

The elevator system has shown particular attention from regulators, with various complaints and violations recorded, including a 2019 inspection resulting in several required repairs related to communication devices, maintenance logs, and brake systems. The property has also experienced periodic issues with water fixtures, including a 2024 plumbing complaint about a toilet, though this was resolved without violations being issued. The building's maintenance record shows a mixture of resolved and ongoing issues, with many violations being properly addressed after inspection. The property has undergone typical urban maintenance challenges, including periodic pest management needs and interior maintenance requirements, though the relatively recent construction date suggests these issues are consistent with building wear rather than systemic failures.
