2325 Morris Avenue, Bronx, NY 10468

The 48-unit, 6-story building at 2325 Morris Avenue in Fordham, owned by Ved Parkash, has experienced several significant issues since 2023, with the most pressing concerns being elevator service reliability and building facade maintenance. The building has faced recurring elevator problems throughout 2024, with multiple complaints of "Single Device on Property/No Alternate Service," including an ECB violation related to the alarm and phone system not working with a penalty of $1,250. In early 2024, three major facade-related issues were documented: compressed window columns from the 2nd to 6th floors above the main entrance, observed cracking and bulging masonry at the parapet level, and broken air conditioning support brackets, which resulted in emergency work orders requiring immediate safety measures.

The building has also experienced persistent heating and hot water issues, with multiple complaints and emergency responses between 2023 and 2025, though some of these complaints were duplicates or related to access issues for inspection. Additional concerns include multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations related to trash room door maintenance, particularly self-closing door issues at various levels, and a window guard safety issue reported in 2025. The building's maintenance history shows improvements in pest control, with no bedbug infestations reported in the past three reporting periods (2022-2025), and recent rodent inspections in early 2025 showing passing results.

However, there is a pattern of water supply and plumbing issues, with multiple emergency complaints and violations noted in mid-2025. The facade maintenance issues, including active ECB violations regarding masonry problems and window concerns, suggest ongoing structural maintenance needs. While most recent complaints have been promptly addressed through emergency responses, there are several open violations as of now that require attention, including issues with the compactor closet doors on the 6th story and various maintenance matters documented in the Housing Maintenance Code.
