1312 Morrison Avenue, Bronx, NY 10472

The two-story multi-family dwelling at 1312 Morrison Avenue in Parkchester, owned by Victor Perez, has been maintaining its class A status as a New Law Tenement since its construction in 1920. The building currently has open violations from both 2022 and 2023 regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD regulations, and from 2022 concerning multiple safety notification and posting requirements, including the need to maintain proper notices regarding carbon monoxide detector requirements, smoke detector requirements, gas leak procedures, and the building's heating system keyholder information.

The entrance area also requires proper notices in both English and Spanish regarding the agency's housing information guide and must display the correct registration number assigned by the department. In terms of building systems and resident comfort, there were heat and hot water issues reported in late December 2022, which were reportedly resolved within a few days.

Notably, the building experienced a failure of self-closing doors at the entrance in 2022, which presented a security concern but has since been resolved. The property has undergone regular rodent inspections from 2010 to 2018, passing all inspections except for one – in December 2012. While the building has shown consistent efforts to maintain basic habitability requirements, the pattern of open violations related to safety postings and the bedbug reporting requirement, particularly in the most recent inspection, suggests ongoing challenges with compliance to certain housing maintenance code requirements.
