1146 Bryant Avenue, Bronx, NY 10459

The 8-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement building at 1146 Bryant Avenue in Longwood, currently owned by John Warren and built in 1910, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there have been recurring heating and hot water system problems, with multiple complaints in 2024 and early 2025, including at least three instances where HPD inspectors were unable to gain access to verify the conditions. Pests have been a persistent issue, with complaints registered in 2024 and 2025, though inspections were either unable to confirm the problem or resulted in violations being issued.

The building experienced a series of emergency maintenance issues in September 2024, including problems with plumbing fixtures, safety systems like smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors, and water leaks. Recent inspections in 2024 documented multiple violations, particularly affecting apartment 3A, including issues with the carbon monoxide detector, smoke detector, bathroom fixtures, and the presence of mold. Additional building-wide violations were noted regarding lighting in the north fire passageway and a key lock entry issue at the east wall door leading to the basement.

The building's rodent inspection history shows a pattern of problems, particularly between 2022 and 2023, with multiple failed inspections and rat activity documented, though a passing inspection was recorded in February 2023. The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in the last eight annual filings from 2019 to 2025. While there were two complaints in 2018 about locked egress and illegal conversion, inspections found no violations at that time.
