1224 Union Avenue, Bronx, NY 10459

The two-story, three-unit building at 1224 Union Avenue in Morrisania, owned by Aliya Khan and built in 1910, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most notably, there have been recurring problems with door and window maintenance, including recent emergency complaints in November 2022 regarding multiple door issues and a window pane complaint in August 2023 that resulted in HPD violations. The building has also faced serious safety concerns, with violations in November 2022 related to carbon monoxide and smoke detectors that were ultimately closed.

Pest control has been an ongoing challenge, with documented rodent activity in 2018-2022 and recent pest complaints in November 2022. The property experienced some regulatory scrutiny between 2018-2020, including Environmental Control Board violations related to access to construction sites and blocked egress, as well as issues with bedbug reporting compliance. Recent inspections have shown some improvement, with the most recent bedbug reports (2025 and 2024) indicating no infestations during the reporting periods.

However, there are still open violations from November 2022 regarding mice and roach infestations in apartment 3. Multiple permits have been issued for work at the property between 2018-2021, suggesting ongoing maintenance and improvements, though some historical violations related to failure to certify corrections of immediately hazardous conditions were ultimately dismissed. The building's maintenance history reveals a pattern of recurring issues that suggest ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly in terms of basic safety systems and pest control, though recent years show some progress in compliance with bedbug reporting requirements.
