1109 Morris Avenue, Bronx, NY 10456

1109 Morris Avenue is a 3-story, 4-unit New Law Tenement building located in Concourse Village, constructed in 1929 and currently owned by George Torres. The building has experienced recurring issues with compliance reporting, particularly regarding bedbug inspections and rodent problems.

While recent bedbug reports from 2024 and 2023 indicate zero infested units, the building was cited in three consecutive years (2021-2023) for failing to file annual bedbug reports, with these violations being classified as "Class A" housing maintenance code violations. The property has undergone several rodent inspections between 2022-2025, with most showing compliance, though there were failures noted in 2022 for rat activity, suggesting a persistent pest management challenge during that period. Significant safety concerns were documented in 2021 when scaffolding was erected around the building, leading to two active Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations against Safetech Enterprises Corp for inadequate pipe support and missing safety information panels, with penalties totaling $3,810.

There was also a violation issued in June 2021 for failure to certify corrections on immediately hazardous conditions, though this was later dismissed in September 2022 after payment was processed. The Department of Buildings has conducted multiple inspections of the property, with varying results including two failed rodent inspections in 2022, though all recent rodent inspections from 2023-2025 have passed. A building permit was issued in December 2020 for work associated with the property.
