1121 Morrison Avenue, Bronx, NY 10472

The 6-story, 59-unit New Law Tenement building at 1121 Morrison Avenue in Soundview, owned by Anthony Gazivoda, has shown persistent maintenance and safety issues throughout 2024-2025. As of July 2025, there are multiple open complaints with HPD, including unresolved plumbing issues affecting sinks, toilets, and bathtubs/showers, along with problems related to cabinets, sewage, and ceiling conditions. The building has experienced several infrastructure challenges, as evidenced by multiple rodent activity inspections throughout 2024-2025, with bait application recorded in September 2024 and observable rat activity noted in multiple compliance inspections.

Recent Housing Maintenance Code violations indicate significant maintenance needs, particularly in Apartment 5B where issues included a carbon monoxide detector failure, pest infestation, and improper modifications affecting safety systems. Notable building-wide incidents included heat and hot water problems in March 2025, though these were resolved within days. The property has also faced structural and environmental concerns, with an active ECB violation from April 2024 regarding disrepair of front facade exterior bricks, including vertical and step cracks on the parapet wall, for which a $2,500 penalty was imposed.

There are ongoing concerns about the building's energy efficiency compliance, with active violations from both 2022 and 2023 for failing to display energy efficiency scores and grades. Historical records show a pattern of various maintenance issues being reported and addressed, including past bedbug incidents (most recently in 2022-2023) and multiple tenant complaints requiring HPD intervention. The building's age (constructed in 1929) is reflected in the recurring nature of these maintenance issues, particularly in relation to plumbing and structural elements.
