2151 Morris Avenue, Bronx, NY 10453
This 21-unit, 5-story "New Law Tenement" at 2151 Morris Avenue in Fordham, built in 1917 and owned by Jay Newhouse, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past two years, with the most concerning being recurring water supply problems and heat/hot water outages affecting the entire building. The property has also faced multiple pest-related challenges, particularly in mid-2023, with multiple 311 complaints regarding unsanitary conditions and pest infestations, including rodent sightings that resulted in at least one violated inspection (July 2023).
More recent records show an ongoing struggle with rodent control, as evidenced by failed inspections in summer 2025 and October 2023, though some inspections passed in between. The building has a concerning history of door-related maintenance issues, as evidenced by multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations in 2024 regarding defective self-closing doors in public areas and vestibules, particularly at the first story.
The property has maintained regular bedbug reporting compliance from 2020 through 2024, with no reported infestations in the past several years, though there were earlier incidents between 2018-2020 involving one to two infested units. Recent inspections in 2025 and 2024 show passing results for various requirements, indicating some improvements, though the building still faces challenges with both rodent control and periodic water supply issues as of 2025, despite many historical violations being marked as "closed" after inspection and correction.
