626 Morris Avenue, Bronx, NY 10451

626 Morris Avenue is a 4-story, 3-unit residential building constructed in 1925, owned by Joseph Boines, located in the Melrose neighborhood of New York City. The building has experienced recurring administrative challenges related to bedbug reporting compliance, with open Housing Maintenance Code violations in both 2023 and 2024, requiring the filing of annual bedbug reports as mandated by HPD regulations.

These violations follow a pattern over recent years, including a close violation in 2022 and 2021, though the building's documented bedbug reports from 2021-2022 and 2020-2021 show no recorded infestations or eradication cases. Additionally, there is an active Department of Buildings violation as of June 2023 regarding the failure to file the 2021 external low-pressure inspection, which remains unresolved.

On a more positive note, the building has maintained a clean record regarding rodent inspections, with successful passing results recorded in 2023, 2012, 2011, and 2010, indicating effective pest management practices over the years. While the recurring bedbug reporting violations represent an administrative concern, it's notable that the building has not experienced documented bedbug infestations in recent years. The property also appears to have a consistent history of addressing pest control issues promptly, as evidenced by successful rodent inspections and the timely filing of bedbug reports when required, though the current open violations suggest some lapses in compliance with reporting requirements.
