1171 Morrison Avenue, Bronx, NY 10472

1171 Morrison Avenue is a 5-story, 59-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1929, currently owned by Anthony Gazivoda. The building has experienced persistent maintenance issues in recent years, with multiple open complaints as of 2025, including problems with doors/windows and plumbing in the bathtub/shower. The property has a documented history of water-related issues, including leaks (both historical and some still under complaint as of 2024-2025) affecting various units.

Particularly concerning are the numerous open emergency complaints filed in June 2025, including issues with mold, window frames, and various interior maintenance needs such as cabinets and paint/plaster work. The building has also faced pest problems, with multiple reports of rodent activity in 2024-2025, as evidenced by bait application records and inspection results showing rat activity as recently as June 2025. The building's maintenance record includes several violation clusters, most notably in Apartment 3F where multiple violations were documented in late 2024, including pest infestation (both roaches and mice), water leaks, and various repair needs. There are also active violations related to energy efficiency documentation, with unaddressed requirements for displaying energy efficiency scores dating back to 2022.

While the bedbug reporting history shows no recorded infestations or treatments since 2021, the building's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with basic habitability conditions. Between 2021 and 2024, there were various Department of Buildings and Environmental Control Board violations, including issues with the boiler system that resulted in significant penalties, though some violations were eventually closed or addressed. The property's open complaints, active violations, and recent inspection results indicate continuing challenges with building maintenance and resident comfort, particularly regarding water systems, pest control, and general upkeep. The building's age and history as a New Law Tenement suggest it has retained many original features, which may require ongoing maintenance to meet modern habitability standards.
