AI summary · updated June 2026

The 3-unit, 2-story residential building at 1043 Morris Avenue in Concourse Village, owned by Leon Keith, was constructed in 1905 and has undergone multiple inspections and service requests in recent years. Most notably, there have been recurring concerns about fire escape safety, with three safety-related complaints registered in March 2025, though HPD inspections found no housing law violations in two of these cases, while one inspection was unable to gain access. The building has also experienced significant maintenance issues in 2025, including problems with flooring, windows, heating, and electrical systems, with multiple complaints in February 2025 where HPD was unable to complete inspections due to access issues. A comprehensive inspection in May 2024 revealed several open violations in Apartment 3, including pest infestation, unsafe electrical wiring, multiple flooring issues, and several other maintenance concerns, though the building passed rodent inspection in May 2025 following some initial failures earlier that month.

The property's recent inspection history shows mixed results, with multiple open violations related to safety and maintenance in Apartment 3, including missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, electrical issues, and various structural concerns. The building's fire escape safety has been a recurring theme, with multiple complaints and violations registered throughout 2025. While the property has generally maintained compliance with rodent inspections over the years, there have been occasional failures. The bedbug reporting history shows no infestations or re-infested units reported between 2022 and 2023, though this may not fully reflect current conditions. The owner has faced challenges addressing maintenance issues promptly, as evidenced by multiple complaints being closed due to HPD's inability to gain access for inspections.
