40 Featherbed Lane, Bronx, NY 10452
The 6-story, 59-unit building at 40 Featherbed Lane in Morris Heights, owned by Jorge Ruiz, has experienced numerous maintenance and safety issues over the past few years. Most recently, in June 2025, there were complaints about sewage odors and rat sightings, continuing a troubling pattern of rodent activity that has been documented through multiple inspections from 2024 to 2025.
The building has also faced various maintenance challenges, with multiple Housing Maintenance Code complaints and violations documented between 2024-2025, including issues with doors, water leaks, electrical lighting, and garbage storage. Notable violations include problems with self-closing doors in common areas (in 2024), and multiple instances of rats in various locations throughout the building. The building's elevator system has been a recurring source of concern, with multiple complaints filed between 2020-2023 about inoperative service and safety features, resulting in ECB violations in 2021 and 2023 with imposed penalties.
The property has shown relatively good pest control management in recent years, with no bedbug infestations reported from 2021 onward. Additionally, while there were some issues with the building's exterior facade and pedestrian protection in 2019-2020, these were resolved. The building appears to be actively addressing many of these issues, as evidenced by the closure of numerous complaints and violations, though some violations from 2024 remain open, and the recent sewage odor complaint received only an advisory response.
