1235 Morrison Avenue, Bronx, NY 10472

The four-story New Law Tenement at 1235 Morrison Avenue in Parkchester, owned by Jay Miller and built in 1929, has experienced ongoing maintenance and quality of life issues through 2025. Most notably, there have been recurring problems with heat and hot water supply, with eight documented complaints between late 2024 and early 2025, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building.

The property has also faced challenges with unsanitary conditions, including mold and pest infestations, as evidenced by multiple complaints and two Class C violations in Apartment C7 for roaches and mice (September 2024). Recent issues include a power outage in April 2025 that prompted an HPD inspection, though inspectors were unable to complete their evaluation. The building's maintenance history shows some improvements, particularly in rodent control, with three consecutive passing inspections between 2023 and 2025, despite previous fluctuations in compliance.

There are several open violations that remain unresolved as of 2025, including issues with water supply, ceiling repairs, and fire safety materials from 2024 inspections. While the property has maintained an active record of addressing bedbug issues with zero reported infestations in recent filings (2022-2024), the ongoing pattern of heating, water, and sanitation-related complaints suggests persistent infrastructure challenges. The Department of Buildings has conducted inspections in response to various complaints, including a 2021 electrical wiring concern and a 2023 illegal conversion complaint, with findings showing either no violations or inability to gain access for inspection.
