2011 Morris Avenue, Bronx, NY 10453

At 2011 Morris Avenue in Mount Hope, this 6-story, 41-unit New Law Tenement built in 1913 has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most notably, in March 2024, multiple violations were documented by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), including problems with mold, water leaks, plumbing issues, and wall conditions. These incidents followed earlier concerns in 2023, particularly regarding heat and hot water access, which HPD was unable to fully investigate due to lack of access.

The building currently has open violations from August 2024 primarily affecting apartments 4C and 4D, involving issues such as a roach infestation, missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and water leak problems. While there has been some progress with rodent inspections, showing passes in 2023-2025, the building's maintenance record shows recurring patterns of unsanitary conditions and infrastructure concerns, including multiple heat/hot water complaints between 2022 and 2023. The property has active violations related to life safety systems as of 2024, specifically concerning smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in apartment 4D.

The building's history shows a mix of resolved and persistent issues, with two bedbug infestations reported in 2024, though the most recent inspection indicates no current infestations. Between 2019 and 2023, various permits were issued for maintenance work, including plumbing and electrical repairs, and the building has generally passed rodent inspections in recent years, though there was a compliance failure noted in December 2024. It's worth noting that there are currently two active violations from August 2024 regarding roach infestations in apartments 4C and 4D, and a pattern of sanitation-related complaints appears to be ongoing in different units throughout the building.
