1160 Bryant Avenue, Bronx, NY 10459

The 23-unit, 5-story New Law Tenement building at 1160 Bryant Avenue, owned by Derrick Lovett, has experienced recurring maintenance issues in recent years. As of June 2025, there are three active complaints: electrical issues including power outages and outlet problems (opened June 2025), and a heavy flow water leak complaint (opened May 2025). The building has a notable history of heating and hot water problems, with multiple emergency complaints recorded throughout 2023-2025 affecting both individual apartments and the entire building.

In late 2023, violations were documented in apartments 2A, 4A, and 5C, including pest infestations (mice and roaches), a need for water leak repairs, and malfunctioning safety devices like smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors. The building's infrastructure appears to be experiencing ongoing challenges, as evidenced by the pattern of service requests and violations over the past two years. While the property has undergone regular rodent inspections, showing compliance in 2015-2022, there are currently open violations regarding pest infestations in multiple apartments as of October 2023.

The building has maintained a relatively clean bedbug record, with no reported infestations in the past three years (2022-2025). However, the persistence of heating, plumbing, and electrical issues suggests recurring maintenance challenges. The most recent 311 service requests and housing maintenance complaints indicate that specific apartment maintenance access is required for resolution, as tenants may need to provide access for repairs. The Department of Buildings complaint from 2018 was closed without access being granted.
