1346 Morris Avenue, Bronx, NY 10456

At 1346 Morris Avenue, a 5-story New Law Tenement built in 1923 with 26 units, recent building management concerns have centered around significant structural issues. As of June 2025, there are active Department of Buildings violations regarding a structurally compromised rear retaining wall, with orders issued in January 2025 and May 2025 requiring immediate repairs and proper permitting.

These concerns are further underscored by Environmental Control Board violations from October 2024, noting excessive cracks and loose concrete at the retaining wall, as well as unauthorized metal bracing construction. The building has experienced recurring heating system problems, evidenced by three heat/hot water complaints in late 2024 and early 2025, including a January 2025 incident that resulted in violations being issued. Other maintenance issues have included multiple violations in 2024 related to water leaks, water damage, and various other building systems, particularly affecting Apartment 5A.

There were also infrastructure concerns in 2024-2025, with complaints regarding building shaking, construction work, and wall stability. While the building has maintained a consistent record of addressing pest control issues, with regular rodent inspections passed in 2025 and previous years showing zero bedbug infestations, the recent focus has shifted significantly to structural and systems maintenance challenges. The property currently has several active penalties related to the retaining wall violations, highlighting ongoing compliance issues that require attention.
