1009 Morris Avenue, Bronx, NY 10456

The 5-story, 7-unit building at 1009 Morris Avenue in Concourse Village, constructed in 1912 and currently owned by Allan Arker, has experienced recurring maintenance issues with systems affecting resident comfort and health over the past several years. Most recently, in 2025, there was a complaint about unsanitary garbage/recycling storage that HPD could not inspect due to lack of access.

Throughout 2024, significant problems included multiple heat and hot water complaints (both building-wide and apartment-specific) in January, persistent pest issues, and mold problems with similar access issues preventing inspections and resolutions. Notable violations were documented in May 2024 specifically for apartment 4A, including defective handrail repairs, pest infestations, inadequate hot water supply, plumbing issues, and missing window guard installations, though these were ultimately certified as corrected by late June to July 2024. The building has maintained consistent rodent control efforts, with multiple inspections in 2024 and 2025 showing generally positive results, though there was one initial failure in April 2024.

A recent bedbug report from December 2024 indicated one infested unit during the November 2023-October 2024 period, representing the first infestation in several years, with two previously documented cases in 2019-2020. The property has a record of multiple pest-related complaints between 2022-2024, with varying degrees of violations issued. The Department of Buildings shows two permits were issued in December 2020, though specific details on the nature and scope of these permits were not provided in the data.
