2719 Morris Avenue, Bronx, NY 10468

The 2719 Morris Avenue building is a 5-story, 54-unit residential tenement constructed in 1922, currently owned by 2719-2721 Morris Ave LLC. Recent records from 2025 show persistent infrastructure issues, particularly regarding water management and electrical systems, with multiple complaints about water leaks (both heavy flow and slow leaks) and power outages in June 2025. The building has also experienced significant maintenance challenges in 2025, including violations related to unsanitary garbage storage, mold, and pest infestations.

Notable violations were issued in 2024-2025 for problems including a malfunctioning roof leading to leaks, inadequate heating and hot water in Apartment 4C, and various issues with wall and ceiling conditions. The property has undergone several rodent inspections, with recent findings in 2024-2025 consistently indicating rat activity, although a compliance baiting application was noted in December 2024. The building's systems have required multiple emergency interventions, particularly in June 2025, for issues including ventilation problems and electric outages, and there remains an active Department of Buildings violation from June 2023 regarding a failure to file an external low-pressure inspection.

The property's maintenance history illustrates ongoing challenges with building systems and upkeep, particularly affecting resident comfort and safety. While there have been multiple inspections and interventions by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), several recent complaints have resulted in only partial resolutions, most notably regarding electrical systems where inspections were attempted but could not be completed. The building's recent history shows a pattern of recurring issues, particularly with water management, electrical systems, and pest control, raising questions about the property’s current maintenance standards and response to resident needs. However, it's worth noting that the building has maintained an active status of zero bedbug incidents reported in the past five years, as per the mandatory Bedbug Reporting requirements.
