2683 Morris Avenue, Bronx, NY 10468

2683 Morris Avenue is a 5-story, 42-unit New Law Tenement building located in the Fordham neighborhood, constructed in 1921 and currently owned by Daniyal Tariq. The building has experienced persistent heating and hot water issues in 2025, with three separate complaints within May 2025 alone, suggesting potential problems with the building's central heating system. These complaints were marked as "entire building" issues and were addressed, though their recurrence is concerning.

In the spring of 2025, multiple maintenance issues were reported and addressed, including problems with flooring/steps, water leaks, electric lighting, and plumbing, though some inspections were hindered by access issues. Earlier in 2024, the building underwent housing maintenance code inspections revealing several violations in apartments 1G and B, including issues with paint conditions, flooring, electrical outlets, and window guards, particularly noting rodent infestation concerns in Apartment B. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of recurring violations and service requests.

Between 2022-2025, there have been multiple DOB violations related to energy efficiency reporting requirements, though most have been dismissed or resolved through compliance measures. Significant maintenance and operational challenges were noted regarding the building's heating system, with both 2020 and 2022 complaints regarding defective/inoperative boilers. The property has also experienced periodic pest control challenges, with bedbug infestations reported in 2024 affecting two units, and recent rodent activity consistently reported in inspections throughout 2024, suggesting ongoing pest management issues. The building has maintained compliance with most basic housing maintenance codes, though the frequency of service requests and recurring nature of heating system issues indicates some ongoing operational challenges.
