1056 Morris Park Avenue, Bronx, NY 10461

The 2-family house at 1056 Morris Park Avenue, built in 1951 and currently owned by Gerard Addeo, has experienced several notable issues in recent years, particularly affecting the second-floor apartment (2R). Most concerning is a current, unresolved food poisoning complaint to the Department of Health (opened February 2025), following a similar incident in February 2023 that was deemed isolated.

The building has faced multiple pest-related challenges, with a significant mouse infestation reported in October 2022 that resulted in Housing Maintenance Code violations being issued for the second-floor apartment. Compliance inspections in 2023 indicated rat activity, though subsequent inspections in March 2023 showed compliance with rodent control requirements.

The property has a record of various maintenance issues primarily affecting apartment 2R, including multiple violations issued in October 2022 for a leaking roof, defective lock, and door issues, all of which were certified as corrected by December 2022. Earlier, in January 2018, the apartment showed several maintenance problems including mold, broken plaster surfaces, and issues with the ceiling affecting both the bathroom and other rooms, as well as a missing carbon monoxide detector. While many of these older violations have been closed, the building's recent food safety and rodent issues indicate ongoing challenges with maintaining a fully compliant and sanitary living environment.
