2244 Morris Avenue, Bronx, NY 10453
2244 Morris Avenue is a 6-story, 54-unit New Law Tenement building located in the Fordham neighborhood, built in 1926 and currently owned by Marc Kurman. The building has experienced persistent maintenance issues in recent months, particularly in 2025, with multiple reports of water-related problems, including heat/hot water issues, water leaks (both heavy flow and damp spots), and mold infestations. Between March and April 2025 alone, there were 8 separate complaints related to water leaks, mold, and various unsanitary conditions.
The building's mechanical systems have also shown concerning patterns, with heat/hot water complaints recorded in both December 2024 and April 2025, though some of these issues were reported as resolved upon follow-up inspections. The property has numerous violations that suggest ongoing structural and maintenance challenges. In September 2024, multiple violations were recorded regarding the building's bulkhead, including roof leaks, fire safety issues, and requirements for proper paint maintenance. The building experienced significant structural concerns in September 2024, with complaints about shaking/vibrating and wall stability, though these complaints were later categorized as Oath Violations.
The Department of Buildings documented several exterior maintenance issues in 2024, including problems with brickwork, mortar joints, and chimney conditions. While bedbug and rodent inspections have generally shown no active infestations (bedbug reports from 2019-2024 show 0 cases), the building has had multiple rat activity reports throughout 2024, with inspections in March 2024, July 2024, and January 2025 showing varying levels of rodent activity. Two significant active violations from 2019 and 2023 remain open regarding energy benchmarking and external low pressure inspection filing. While the building has made attempts to address various violations, as evidenced by certified correction dates in late 2024, the persistence and frequency of maintenance issues suggest ongoing challenges in building upkeep.
