1338 Morrison Avenue, Bronx, NY 10472

The two-story, three-unit residential building at 1338 Morrison Avenue in Parkchester, owned by Ramesh Raghunandan, has experienced several notable issues over the past decade that warrant attention. Most concerning is the persistent failure to file required annual bedbug reports, with open violations documented in 2024, 2023, 2022, and 2021.

These ongoing violations of the Housing Maintenance Code suggest potential regulatory noncompliance and have implications for resident comfort. In terms of pest-related incidents, while an August 2019 complaint about rat sightings was recorded and closed, the building has maintained relatively good standing in rodent inspections, passing all but one between 2010 and 2018, though a failure was noted in August 2017 for "Other Reasons." The building's history includes one Department of Buildings investigation in December 2020 regarding illegal commercial use in a residential zone, which was accepted by the Padlock Unit.

The property has shown consistent maintenance in other areas, with no serious violations recorded in recent years, though the recurring bedbug report issue remains the most significant concern. The building's age of 105 years (as of 2025) is typical for the neighborhood, and aside from the noted violations, there are no other major safety or habitability concerns on record.
