1134 Bryant Avenue, Bronx, NY 10459

1134 Bryant Avenue is a 4-story, 8-unit New Law tenement building constructed in 1910, currently owned by Yoel Shafer. The building has experienced recurring heating and hot water issues over the past several years, with multiple emergency complaints filed through 311 services and Housing Maintenance Code complaints, most recently in March 2023.

These issues have typically affected the entire building, though one specific violation was recorded in March 2023 regarding hot water problems in Apartment 5. The building has accumulated several violations requiring attention, including three separate notices in 2021, 2022, and 2023 concerning the failure to file annual bedbug reports, though there have been no reported infestations in recent years according to the 2025-2024 reporting period.

The property has two active Department of Buildings violations as of 2025: one from 2018 regarding a broken oil burner gauge and unregistered boiler, with a $3,125 penalty, and another from 2023 related to the non-filing of the 2022 external low-pressure inspection. Rodent inspections show a mixed record, with evidence of rat activity detected in July 2022 and July 2014, though most other inspections between 2014 and 2022 passed. While the building has had its share of maintenance issues, particularly regarding heating and hot water systems, it is worth noting that many violations have been addressed and closed, and recent bedbug reports show no current infestations.
