1229 Morrison Avenue, Bronx, NY 10472

The three-story, three-unit building at 1229 Morrison Avenue in Parkchester, owned by Angela Hu and constructed in 2005, has experienced several notable incidents in recent years. Most recently, in June 2024, there was a heat and hot water emergency affecting Apartment 3, which was subsequently addressed by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) inspections that revealed multiple violations. These violations included issues with required signage and notifications in the public hall, such as heating system access, floor numbering, smoke detector requirements, gas leak procedures, carbon monoxide detector requirements, and building registration information.

While the heat and hot water issue was categorized as closed, several violations related to building signage remain open as of 2024. The building has maintained a consistent record of bedbug-free status over its last three reporting periods (2024, 2023, and 2022), with no infestations reported. However, there have been some concerns regarding rodent activity and building maintenance.

The most recent rodent inspection in May 2025 passed, following a previous initial inspection in May 2024 that had reported rat activity. Earlier inspections from 2023 and 2022 generally passed, with one 2022 initial inspection failing for unspecified reasons. The building's violation history shows a pattern of requiring various safety-related notices and compliance with housing maintenance codes, though many of these violations have been addressed through subsequent certifications.
