Augrented Insights Report for 2489 Morris Avenue

The 43-unit, 5-story New Law Tenement building at 2489 Morris Avenue in Fordham, owned by Rick Herman and constructed in 1923, is currently experiencing multiple ongoing maintenance issues as of mid-2025. Most notably, there are three open plumbing complaints related to sink issues, a roofing problem, and a heat/hot water complaint that was recently closed.

The building has documented recurring rodent issues, with several inspections between 2023 and 2025 showing rat activity, though a pass was recorded in April 2024. Recent infrastructure concerns have emerged, with active violations as of May 2025 noting masonry cracks, spalling, and a potentially dangerous cracked window at the parapet level requiring immediate safety measures. The building has a history of various maintenance challenges over the past few years, including water leaks and mold problems earlier in 2025, along with multiple violations identified during an October 2024 inspection of basement apartment H.

These violations include issues with smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, a malfunctioning bell system, problems with water supply to fixtures, and defects in flooring and fixtures. The building's management has generally addressed violations once cited, as evidenced by multiple closed complaints, though many new issues have subsequently arisen. While there was a single verified bedbug incident reported in 2022-2023, recent reports indicate no infestations in the past two years.
