1005 Morris Park Avenue, Bronx, NY 10462

The 5-unit, 2-story apartment building at 1005 Morris Park Avenue, built in 1927 and currently owned by Eliat Realty Corp, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years. Most notably, there have been recurring problems with heat and hot water across the entire building, with multiple emergency complaints (2019, 2020, 2021, 2024) highlighting resident discomfort during winter months. The building has also faced various sanitation challenges, including mold (2020), pest issues (2021), and water leakage problems (2021).

Of particular concern are the open violations from 2019 related to safety equipment in Apartment 2A/2B, including missing carbon monoxide detectors and inadequate gas supply to kitchen fixtures. These violations, while technically addressed through various inspections, suggest potential ongoing safety concerns. More recently, in 2024, there was a window pane issue reported and not resolved due to lack of access for inspection, as well as a violation regarding the 2023 external low-pressure inspection filing which was eventually dismissed.

Notably, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations since 2019, with zero reported cases in the annual reporting period. The property underwent several inspections in 2019 that revealed various code compliance issues, including locked boiler room access and missing heating system notices, though many of these violations were subsequently addressed. While the building has received various complaints over the years regarding structural concerns, drainage issues, and illegal activity, most were either dismissed or did not warrant violations upon inspection. The most recent rodent inspection (2022) passed successfully, indicating improved pest control measures.
