1075 Washington Avenue, Bronx, NY 10456

The 5-story, 10-unit tenement building at 1075 Washington Avenue in Morrisania, built in 1931 and currently owned by Rami Esses, has experienced several notable events affecting resident conditions over recent years. Most concerning is the building's current status as of July 2025, which includes active violations for exterior stucco damage with horizontal and step cracks documented in September 2024, for which a penalty of $312 was imposed. In 2024, there were two significant complaints regarding structural issues, including reports of building shaking/vibrating.

The building has a documented history of fire escape maintenance issues, with a December 2022 violation noting problems with the drop ladder on the first and second-story fire escapes. Heating and hot water provision has been a recurring issue, with an emergency violation in 2018 regarding inadequate hot water in apartment 3R. The building's maintenance record shows relatively consistent attention to pest control, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past five reporting periods from 2019 through 2024, though there were some rodent inspection failures noted between 2011 and 2012, followed by compliant inspections in subsequent years.

A 2022 complaint regarding unsanitary garbage/recycling storage was investigated but resulted in no violations being issued. The property has maintained compliance with annual bedbug reporting requirements since 2022, and regular rodent inspections have generally resulted in passing grades in recent years, with the most recent inspection in 2022 showing compliance. While the building has experienced various maintenance issues over the years, including fire escape and heating problems, there have been no bedbug infestations reported since 2019, and recent pest control reporting shows no active infestations.
