1347 Morris Avenue, Bronx, NY 10456

1347 Morris Avenue is a two-story, 19-unit residential building in Claremont Village, owned by Taso Vassiliou and constructed in 2002. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years, most notably a fire incident in February 2024 that affected apartment 2, requiring the abatement of fire damage and the subsequent installation of new smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in that unit.

The property has also faced challenges with essential services, including a heat and hot water complaint in late 2022 that could not be investigated due to lack of access, and a power outage in June 2022 that was inspected without resulting violations. Recent inspections have shown some continuing maintenance needs, including a 2024 violation related to defective hinges on self-closing doors at the north stair door in the public hall. However, the building has maintained a positive record regarding bedbug and rodent control, with regular inspections passing consistently from 2020 through 2025.

The bedbug reports for the past five years (2020-2024) show zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units, indicating successful monitoring and management of this issue. The property has also regularly filed its annual bedbug report, though an initial violation for failing to file in 2021 was subsequently addressed. While the building has had several maintenance issues requiring attention, the consistent passing of rodent inspections and the complete absence of bedbug infestations suggest good overall pest management practices.
