534 Morris Park Avenue, Bronx, NY 10460

534 Morris Park Avenue is a 3-story, 18-unit residential building constructed in 1963 and currently owned by Steven Saljanin. The property has experienced recurring issues in 2025, with eight separate heat/hot water complaints in May alone, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. These complaints were categorized as emergencies and were subsequently closed after HPD verified corrections. Other recent concerns include multiple unsanitary conditions related to pests and garbage/recycling storage from May 15, 2025, though HPD inspections found no violations of housing laws in these cases.

A carbon monoxide detector safety issue was reported and resolved in early May 2025. The building has a history of maintenance challenges, as evidenced by multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations in 2024. These included plumbing issues in Apartment 2B (defective faucets and water supply pipes), while Apartment 1C had problems with mold, scalding hot water, and water leak evidence in the bathroom. There were also concerns about a key-operated lock on a firescape in Apartment 2F and security issues with air conditioners in Apartments 2A and 2B.

The property has faced regulatory scrutiny regarding possible illegal conversions, with inspections conducted in 2019 and 2020, resulting in an active Environmental Control Board violation from December 2019 regarding unauthorized construction in Apartment 2A. Additionally, there are four active violations from June 2023 related to the failure to file external low-pressure inspections between 2018 and 2020, as well as an unmet boiler inspection requirement from 2017. Rodent inspections have shown mixed results, with failed inspections in 2019 and 2025, though there were several passed inspections in between. The building's bedbug reporting history for 2024-2025 shows no infestations, with all units remaining free of these pests during the reporting periods.
