Augrented Insights
AI summary · updated June 2026

The three-story, four-unit residential building at 1040 Morris Avenue in Concourse Village, owned by Taresha Simmons, has a mixed maintenance history since its 1929 construction. The most recent significant incident occurred in February 2024 with a heat and hot water emergency that affected the entire building, though this was resolved within 24 hours. The building has consistently shown compliance with bedbug reporting requirements from 2021 through 2025, with all recent filings indicating zero infested dwelling units, despite receiving four consecutive bedbug violation notices between 2021-2024 for failing to file annual reports.

The property has experienced recurring rodent issues, particularly visible between 2023-2025, with multiple instances of rat activity documented through initial inspections. Notably, in 2024 there were three inspections indicating rat activity (March, September, and one in March 2025), though a bait application was recorded in May 2024 and subsequent inspections have shown compliance. The building's violation status has improved over time, with all previous bedbug-related violations now closed, and recent rodent compliance inspections resulting in passing grades. Regular rodent inspections have been conducted throughout this period, demonstrating active management of the pest control situation.
