1820 Morris Avenue, Bronx, NY 10453

1820 Morris Avenue is a 6-story, 44-unit residential building constructed in 1938 and currently owned by Shimon Greisman. The building has faced recurring maintenance challenges, particularly with heating and water systems. In 2025 alone, there were multiple complaints about heat and hot water issues affecting both individual apartments and the entire building, with violations issued by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). The building has also experienced persistent pest issues, with multiple complaints about unsanitary conditions related to pests in 2024 and 2025, resulting in violations.

Affected units have included Apartment 2B (mandatory heat supply violations) and Apartment 6G, which had several noted issues in 2023-2024 including mold, rodent infestation, and problems with windows. The building has undergone multiple inspections for rodent control between 2021 and 2025, consistently passing these inspections, and there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the past six years. Significant violations from 2021-2022 included unauthorized occupancy issues in the cellar area, with findings of additional Class A apartments created without proper permits. These violations were ultimately resolved, but led to multiple Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations for failure to comply with correction orders.

More recent issues have primarily centered around heat/water systems and pest control. Two notable building-wide heating system violations were documented in December 2024-January 2025, though HPD later verified some corrections had been made. The building's elevator system and window frames have also been subjects of complaints, though inspections generally found no significant violations. The property has maintained compliance with regular rodent inspections, with all recent inspections showing passed results. While the building has faced multiple maintenance challenges, records show ongoing efforts to address violations, with many being resolved through inspections and corrective actions.
