2705 Morris Avenue, Bronx, NY 10468
The 28-unit, 5-story tenement building at 2705 Morris Avenue in Fordham, owned by Joseph Cafiero and constructed in 1922, has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues in recent years. Most notably, there are multiple open violations from a June 2024 inspection of apartment 3B, including concerns about lead paint hazards, pest infestations (including mice and roaches), water leaks, and various structural and maintenance issues. The building has also faced recurring plumbing and water supply problems, with recent complaints in 2025 about heavy water leaks and water supply issues, though some of these complaints resulted in inspections that found no violations.
A series of rodent control measures have been implemented throughout 2024 and into 2025, with several inspections noting rat activity and bait application, though a March 2025 inspection passed compliance. The property has an active ECB violation from February 2024 regarding failure to comply with previous repair orders and maintain exterior walls, including concerns about rusted fire escapes, steel lintels, and brick mortar joints. Historical complaints include investigations of building shaking in 2022 and elevator concerns in 2024, though no violations were found in the former case.
The building's maintenance history shows some improvement in more recent years, with no bedbug infestations reported from December 2022 onward, though there were isolated incidents in previous years. Regular rodent inspections and bait applications throughout 2024-2025 suggest ongoing pest management efforts, with the most recent inspection indicating compliance. The property has maintained various permits for repair and maintenance work, with multiple permits issued between 2019-2020 for electrical and plumbing work, though some improvements appear to remain incomplete based on open violations.
