813 Morris Park Avenue, Bronx, NY 10462

The three-story, two-family house at 813 Morris Park Avenue in Van Nest, owned by Maor Salman, has experienced several significant maintenance issues since 2018, with the most concerning cluster of problems occurring in 2022. That year saw multiple emergency complaints and code violations related to unsanitary conditions, including pest infestations, mold, and water supply issues. Specifically, there were documented problems with pests (including mice and roaches), moisture-related issues including water leaks and mold, and various interior maintenance problems such as door and window defects and flooring concerns.

The building was found to have lead-based paint hazards in Apartment 2, including peeling paint on walls and door frames that required remediation under New York City regulations. The property also had multiple violations of housing maintenance codes requiring repairs to plaster and painting with light-colored paint in common areas. More recently, the building's maintenance record shows some improvement, with the most recent bedbug reports from 2022-2024 showing no infestations. However, there are still some areas of concern, including an open Class C violation from April 2022 related to lead paint hazards.

The building's plumbing system has required attention, with both 311 service requests and housing maintenance code complaints regarding water supply issues in 2022. A property-specific boiler inspection violation from 2018 and a more recent inspection in 2023 (which passed) suggests that previous boiler maintenance issues have been addressed. The building has shown a pattern of rodent-related problems, with multiple failed inspections prior to 2023, though the most recent inspection in January 2023 passed. The property was also subject to a building shake/vibration complaint in December 2021, which was investigated but found to have no merit at the time of inspection.
