Augrented Insights Report for 1279 Morris Avenue

1279 Morris Avenue is a 5-story, 16-unit New Law tenement building constructed in 1916 and currently owned by Sefik Gunes. The property has experienced several concerning maintenance issues in recent years, with particular attention required to address water-related problems. Between 2023 and 2024, there were multiple incidents involving water leaks, including a heavy flow incident in June 2024, and ongoing issues with moisture and mold. Notably, apartment 2A was cited for significant mold problems in May 2024, affecting approximately 25-50 square feet on walls and ceilings.

The building has faced recurring heating and hot water system challenges, with multiple emergency complaints regarding inadequate heat/hot water in March 2024 affecting the entire building. Additional maintenance concerns include reports of unsanitary conditions, with a sewage-related complaint in February 2024, and issues with stairs and flooring that resulted in violations in March 2024. A more serious structural concern arose in early 2024, with three separate complaints regarding building shaking/vibrations between January 13-22, which were investigated but ultimately resolved. The Department of Buildings issued violations in January 2024 related to water damage from windows in apartments 1B and 4th floor, resulting in monetary penalties.

While the building has been relatively free of pest issues, with no bedbug infestations reported in the past six years, there has been an ongoing battle with rodent activity, as evidenced by multiple inspections showing rat activity between 2023 and 2025, though some subsequent inspections indicated compliance. The building's violation history shows a mix of resolved and ongoing issues, including water damage, mold, and structural concerns, with more recent inspections indicating possible improvements. The property has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, showing no infestations since 2019. However, the recurring nature of moisture-related problems, heating system failures, and rodent activity suggests ongoing maintenance challenges.
