1041 Morris Avenue, Bronx, NY 10456

The property at 1041 Morris Avenue in Concourse Village, owned by Michael Newell, is a two-story, three-unit building constructed in 1905 that has experienced recurring maintenance issues over recent years. Most notably, there have been multiple incidents of mold and unsanitary conditions, including a recent emergency mold complaint in February 2025, followed by an Indoor Air Quality ventilation issue that received a Department of Health advisory.

The building is currently under three open Housing Maintenance Code violations related to missing annual bedbug reports from 2021-2024, though these do not appear to be directly related to current pest issues. In 2019, violations were recorded specifically regarding a roach infestation in Apartment 2, and several maintenance issues including a broken bathroom marble saddle and door-related problems were documented. The building has shown some improvement in certain areas; recent inspections from 2019 through 2025 have consistently passed rodent inspections, suggesting effective management of that particular issue.

Recent maintenance complaints from June 2025 indicate various non-emergency issues including door and window problems, an electric/gas range concern, and some paint/plaster work needed on walls and cabinets. While many historical complaints have been resolved with no violations issued upon inspection, the persistent nature of mold issues and the open bedbug report violations suggest ongoing challenges with building maintenance. The most concerning recent complaints have been the mold-related issues, though it's noteworthy that no violations were issued following the most recent HPD inspections in both 2019 and 2025, and many recent service requests have been categorized as "Closed."
