1318 Morrison Avenue, Bronx, NY 10472

The 2-story, 3-unit building at 1318 Morrison Avenue, owned by Sorajine Toolsee, has had several notable incidents since its construction in 1920, with the most significant occurring between 2018 and 2024. There are currently four open violations concerning the annual bedbug reporting requirements under Housing Maintenance Code § HMC, dating from 2021 to 2024.

In 2018, the building experienced a power outage, though inspections by HPD found no violations related to this incident. More concerning was a series of environmental control board violations in 2018 related to illegal cellar conversions, lack of proper egress, and work done without permits, though these were subsequently resolved. The building's maintenance history shows persistent issues with compliance reporting, particularly regarding bedbug documentation, though rodent inspections from 2010 through 2018 consistently passed.

Earlier violations from 2008 included exposed electric wires in the second-story public hall and defective plaster surfaces in apartment 2R, while a 2018 Department of Buildings inspection led to a partial vacate order. Although many past violations have been resolved, the continued presence of open bedbug-related violations since 2021 suggests ongoing administrative compliance issues. The building has maintained a consistent record of passing rodent inspections over the years, which typically indicates basic sanitary standards are being met, despite the various other violations on record.
