1877 Harrison Avenue, Bronx, NY 10453

The two-family house at 1877 Harrison Avenue in Morris Heights, owned by Gil Broitman, has experienced significant maintenance and code compliance issues, particularly during 2020 and 2022-2024 periods. The property, built in 1920, has been subject to multiple housing maintenance complaints in 2020, including repeated issues with heat and hot water, plumbing, mold, and various maintenance problems, many of which resulted in violations.

In 2022, the building underwent construction work that resulted in serious safety concerns, including unbraced party walls and access issues to the second floor due to discontinued work, leading to multiple Environmental Control Board violations with penalties totaling $10,000. More recent activity in 2025 showed the property had rodent inspection issues, though the most recent inspection in April 2025 passed. The building has had ongoing construction-related complaints and code violations between 2022-2025, including several stop-work orders that were eventually rescinded.

Multiple housing maintenance code violations remain open as of the latest data review, particularly related to repair needs in Apartment 2, including issues with plaster surfaces, doors, ceilings, and various systems including gas and hot water. The property has shown recurring challenges with basic services and maintenance, particularly evident in the 2020 complaint history, and has required multiple inspections by various city agencies. While there have been recent permit issuances in 2024 for demolition work, and some construction-related violations have been resolved, the property history indicates persistent maintenance and compliance challenges over the past several years.
