1030 Morris Park Avenue, Bronx, NY 10461

1030 Morris Park Avenue is a 3-story, 5-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1928, currently owned by Phyllis Varacalli. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, most notably a series of heating and hot water problems in October 2024 that affected the entire building and resulted in multiple violations. In the same month, significant violations were recorded for apartment 2R, including issues with hot water supply, defective doors, heating system access, smoke detector, carbon monoxide detector, floor conditions, and pest infestation.

The building's most recent concerns involve a plumbing water supply issue reported in January 2025, though this was resolved quickly within one day. Despite these challenges, there have been no recorded bedbug infestations in the past five reporting periods (2020-2024), and the building passed a rodent inspection in January 2023. The property has maintained regular compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, though violations were issued for not filing in 2023 and 2024.

Several violations from the October 2024 inspection remain open, including issues with the door to the heating system and various maintenance matters in apartment 2R, while other violations have been marked as closed. The building's recent history shows recurring problems with essential services like heat and hot water, particularly in late 2024 when multiple emergency complaints were filed. While some issues have been addressed promptly, such as the January 2025 plumbing problem, the persistence of certain violations from October 2024 suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. It's worth noting that the building has generally maintained good records regarding bedbug and rodent control, with no reported infestations in recent years and successful rodent inspection results.
