1240 Morrison Avenue, Bronx, NY 10472
The 12-story, 154-unit building at 1240 Morrison Avenue in Parkchester, owned by Jay Newhouse and built in 1968, has experienced persistent maintenance and infrastructure challenges throughout 2023-2025. Most notably, there have been multiple rodent-related incidents in 2025, with repeat complaints in June including violations that warrant follow-up inspections. The building has faced recurring heat and hot water issues, with emergency complaints registered in June 2025 before being temporarily resolved.
Multiple elevator-related concerns have been documented, with two active complaints as of mid-2025 regarding multiple devices and interrupted service. Several significant violations were recorded between 2023-2024, including plumbing problems, electrical wiring issues, and self-closing door deficiencies. The building has undergone periodic pest control inspections, with a notable spike in rodent activity recorded between 2022-2025, although the most recent inspections in mid-2025 showed varying results, including "failed for other reasons" and "rat activity." Three instances of bedbug infestations were reported between 2022-2024, with one confirmed case in 2024 that was subsequently eradicated.
Recent renovations and maintenance work have been documented through various permit applications, though some violations regarding energy efficiency reporting and elevator maintenance remain relevant. The property has experienced ongoing issues with garbage and recycling storage conditions, though inspections by HPD often found no housing law violations. While the building has demonstrated some ability to address maintenance issues promptly (as evidenced by many complaints being closed after repairs), the frequency and recurrence of certain problems suggest ongoing challenges with building systems and pest management.
