1864 Harrison Avenue, Bronx, NY 10453

1864 Harrison Avenue is a 2-story, 9-unit residential building located in Morris Heights, owned by Mayer Kaufman and originally constructed in 1920. The property has experienced persistent water-related issues from late 2023 through 2024, with multiple complaints about "heavy flow" and "slow leak" situations, several of which were classified as emergency incidents.

Most recently, in August 2024, the building was issued violations related to roof leaks specifically affecting apartment 3D, as well as other maintenance issues including defective locks at the building entrance and window guard concerns. The building has also documented ongoing rodent activity, with several inspections between 2023 and 2025 confirming "Rat Activity," though no bedbug infestations have been reported in recent years, with the most recent filings (2023-2024) showing zero infested units. The property's maintenance history reveals a pattern of both urgent and non-urgent repair needs, particularly centered around apartment 3D, which has multiple open violations as of 2024 related to plaster surfaces, ceiling repairs, and window guards.

While there have been various repair and improvement permits issued between 2019-2020, including plumbing and general alterations, the recurring nature of water-related complaints suggests ongoing infrastructure challenges. The building's inspection records show a mix of resolved and open violations, with particular attention needed to address the current roof leakage issues as indicated by both complaint and violation records. The persistent rodent activity, as documented through multiple inspections requiring bait application, indicates a continuing pest control challenge.
