1711 Morris Avenue, Bronx, NY 10457
1711 Morris Avenue is a 6-story, 89-unit New Law tenement built in 1927, currently owned by Benny Chaskelson. The building has experienced numerous maintenance and safety issues in recent years, with the most pressing concerns emerging in 2025. Multiple complaints and violations have been documented in June 2025 alone, including plumbing issues (radiators), window frame problems, and sanitary conditions involving pests and mold.
Emergency violations were issued in June 2025 for plumbing, window frames, and unsanitary conditions, though many complaints were ultimately closed without violations being found. The building has also been grappling with persistent rodent issues, as evidenced by multiple failed inspections and bait applications from 2024-2025. The property has a concerning history of elevator safety violations between 2020-2024, with multiple citations for door-related issues, including door restrictors and monitoring system failures, some of which remain active.
A significant environmental control board (ECB) violation was issued in July 2024 regarding building facade maintenance, citing step cracks, damaged mortar joints, and shifted brickwork, with a $12,500 penalty imposed. The building has battled recurring bedbug infestations, with reports showing infested units in 2023-2024, though these were marked as eradicated. Recent inspections have revealed continuing maintenance challenges, including open violations regarding ceiling and wall conditions in multiple units (apartments 4F and 6L) as of mid-2025, along with various plumbing and window frame issues. While some historical violations have been resolved or dismissed, the building's current maintenance and safety record indicates ongoing challenges that affect resident comfort and safety.
