1119 Morris Avenue, Bronx, NY 10456

1119 Morris Avenue is a 6-unit, 3-story residential building located in the Concourse Village neighborhood, built in 1927 and currently owned by Norris Sewell. The building has experienced recurring issues with rodent activity in 2025, with multiple inspections showing rat activity in January, March, and July; however, there have also been several passed compliance inspections and bait applications throughout the year, suggesting active management of the situation.

The property has maintained an apparently successful record of bedbug management, with the most recent reports from 2022-2023 showing no infested units or infestations, though there were annual violations in previous years (2021-2024) related to filing the required bedbug reports. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of addressing various maintenance issues, particularly during 2018 when multiple violations were documented in apartment 3A, including problems with linoleum flooring creating trip hazards, missing kitchen cabinet doors, and bathroom mold.

More recent violations have primarily been limited to administrative issues, such as the bedbug reporting requirements. A significant safety-related violation was recorded in 2021 regarding a door closure issue in the entrance of apartment 2B, which appears to have been resolved. While the building maintains its status as a regulated New York Law Tenement and has experienced various maintenance challenges over the years, recent records indicate improved compliance with bedbug reporting requirements and prompt attention to safety issues, as evidenced by the closure of the majority of violations on record.
