1000 Morris Park Avenue, Bronx, NY 10462

The two-story, five-unit building at 1000 Morris Park Avenue, owned by Miguel Garcia, has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, with the most significant cluster of problems occurring in July 2024. During this period, there were multiple complaints and violations related to unsanitary conditions (including mold and pests), building integrity issues (window frames, flooring, walls, and ceilings), and general maintenance problems (bell/intercom systems). While these complaints were investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) and no violations were formally issued, they indicate ongoing maintenance challenges.

The building has a pattern of recurring issues with both mold and pest problems, as evidenced by complaints in 2023 and multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations in recent years. Historically, the building has faced various regulatory compliance matters, including a prolonged series of violations related to bedbug reporting requirements from 2019 to 2024, though recent filings indicate no current infestations. In late 2019, several violations were documented regarding safety and notification requirements, including carbon monoxide detector requirements and emergency procedures.

An inspection in early 2018 revealed unauthorized installation of commercial equipment and occupancy issues, though these violations were subsequently resolved. More positively, a rodent inspection conducted in January 2023 resulted in a passing grade, suggesting improvement in pest control measures. The building's age (constructed in 1937) and history of various maintenance issues point to the need for ongoing vigilance regarding building upkeep and environmental conditions, though the most recent bedbug report shows no current infestations.
