2042 Morris Avenue, Bronx, NY 10453
The five-story New Law Tenement building at 2042 Morris Avenue in Mount Hope, managed by Pierre Downing, has experienced persistent heating system issues throughout 2025, with multiple tenant complaints regarding heat and hot water problems between February and April. These complaints, often relating to both apartment-specific and building-wide deficiencies, were categorized as emergencies by the NYC Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) department. The building has also dealt with significant pest management challenges, most notably in September 2024 when a mouse and roach infestation was documented in apartment 5D, though these violations were later certified as corrected in October 2024.
Inspection records reveal recurring infrastructure and safety concerns, including inadequate sprinkler systems noted in 2023-2024, and multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations ranging from plumbing issues to problems with public areas. The building exhibited rodent activity in 2023-2024, with some inspections showing rat presence, though recent 2025 inspections have passed successfully. Historical records from 2019-2020 indicate prior issues with unauthorized modifications (illegal conversion) and excessive debris, though these were resolved.
The property has maintained regular permit issuance for various maintenance and improvement work, with multiple permits granted between 2018-2020 for plumbing and electrical repairs. Recent inspections suggest some improvement in building conditions, with the most recent rodent inspection in July 2025 passing without issues. The bedbug reporting records from 2019-2024 show occasional infestations, though recent filings indicate no current problems. While many historical violations have been addressed, the recurring heating system issues in 2025 represent the most significant ongoing maintenance challenge for the building.
