1085 Washington Avenue, Bronx, NY 10456

1085 Washington Avenue, a 9-story, 90-unit building constructed in 2007 and currently owned by Morgan Magistro, has experienced several ongoing maintenance issues in recent months. Most notably, there is an active emergency water leak complaint as of May 2025 that remains unresolved.

There have also been multiple complaints regarding mold (April and March 2025), floor conditions (March 2025), and repeated heat/hot water problems affecting both the entire building and individual apartments earlier in 2025. The building has undergone various inspections and received violations requiring attention to code compliance, including issues with elevator devices (multiple complaints from 2019-2025), exterior surfaces requiring maintenance (2024 violations), and several housing maintenance code violations affecting Apartment 4H that were issued in October 2023, including problems with painting requirements and bathroom fixtures. Historical data shows a consistent pattern of maintenance challenges, including plumbing issues (notably a toilet problem in July 2024), window frame concerns, and more persistent issues with heating systems, as evidenced by multiple heat/hot water complaints.

While there has been no documented bedbug activity in recent filings (2021-2024), rodent inspections have shown variable results, with rat activity noted in 2022. The building's management has faced regulatory scrutiny, with several active violations related to failure to submit required inspection reports, including multiple low-pressure inspection violations from 2023. Despite these challenges, the building has maintained a record of consistently addressing most violations within designated timeframes, though some recent water and mold issues remain open as of mid-2025.
