2249 Morris Avenue, Bronx, NY 10453

2249 Morris Avenue, a 6-story New Law tenement building constructed in 1927 in the Fordham neighborhood, currently owned by Heng Ly, houses 49 units and has experienced several concerning maintenance issues recently. As of 2025, there are multiple open violations and recently issued violations affecting Apartment A6, including problems with self-closing doors, a loose radiator, visible mold in the bathroom, floor panel damage, and issues with safety equipment (smoke and carbon monoxide detectors).

The building has a documented history of plumbing, electrical, and structural issues, with several recent HPD violations issued in early 2025 related to plumbing fixtures (bathtubs, sinks, toilets), electrical outlets, flooring, and windows. The property has faced ongoing elevator service concerns, with active complaints about single-device service and no alternate service filed in late 2024.

Recent rodent activity has been documented, with inspections in 2025 showing rat activity, though a compliance inspection was passed in July 2025. While there have been no bedbug infestations reported since 2020 and no recent environmental violations noted, the building's maintenance history reveals persistent infrastructure challenges, including water leaks, plumbing problems, and safety equipment deficiencies. The most recent inspections and complaints indicate that many of these issues are still being addressed, with some violations remaining open as of the current date.
