1058 Morris Avenue, Bronx, NY 10456

The 10-unit, 3-story building at 1058 Morris Avenue in Concourse Village, owned by Baruch Taub, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years. Most notably, there have been recurring problems with heat and hot water, with three emergency complaints between 2024-2025, including one in December 2022 that was classified as a Class C violation for inadequate heat in Apartment 1. The building has also suffered from electrical issues, with three power outage incidents between 2018 and 2025, though inspections found no violations.

Recent concerns include ongoing rodent activity, with multiple bait applications documented between 2024 and 2025, and a 2024 violation related to lead-based paint hazards in Apartment 1 that remains open. Various other maintenance issues have been reported and inspected, including mold (October 2023), lighting problems (October 2023), and bathroom issues in Apartment C3 (September 2023). The building's history shows consistent bedbug monitoring since 2021, with all reports indicating zero infested or re-infested units.

The most recent bedbug report from December 2024 shows no infestations during the previous period. Additionally, there have been two recent complaints (April 2023) regarding adjacent buildings that inspectors were unable to access. While the building has faced multiple heating and electrical challenges, it's worth noting that many HPD inspections have found no violations, though some issues required multiple complaints to be fully addressed. The property has undergone several inspections and compliance checks, with the most recent rodent inspections conducted in May 2025.
