1277 Morris Avenue, Bronx, NY 10456

1277 Morris Avenue is a 5-story, 16-unit residential building located in Concourse Village, constructed in 1916 and currently owned by David Abrazom. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues throughout 2024-2025, with multiple service requests and violations related to plumbing, electrical systems, and overall building maintenance. Most notably, in late 2024, there were multiple complaints filed regarding water supply issues, electrical problems (including lighting and outlet concerns), a cabinet issue, and potential heat/hot water problems - many of which HPD was unable to inspect when responding to the complaints.

These recent issues follow a pattern of maintenance challenges, including documented water leaks, mold problems, and pest control concerns. In early 2024, violations were identified in apartment 42 related to water leaks, mold, and pest infestations, though most were subsequently addressed or certified as corrected. The building's historical records between 2018-2021 show several significant violations requiring attention to safety and building codes, including problems with building illumination, fire stopping, and unauthorized work.

Notably, there were also issues with fire safety in 2018 regarding exit illumination and fire-retardant materials. While bedbug treatments have consistently shown zero affected units from 2019 to the present, recent rodent inspection results from early 2025 indicate persistent rat activity, despite previous successful inspections in 2024 showing no such problems. The property's permit history from 2018-2019 shows two improvement projects were permitted and issued in 2018 and 2019, though specific details of these works are not provided in the available data.
