919 Bryant Avenue, Bronx, NY 10474

919 Bryant Avenue is a two-story, three-unit residential building located in Hunts Point, built in 1910 and currently owned by Manuel Taveras. The property has a concerning recent history of pest-related issues, with an unsanitary condition complaint regarding pests filed in March 2025 that remains open.

This follows a pattern of pest-related problems, including a rodent complaint in March 2019, and numerous violations over multiple years related to bedbug reporting requirements under Housing Maintenance Code (HMC) regulations, with the most recent violation recorded in April 2024. The building has shown fluctuating rodent inspection results, with periods of rat activity noted in both 2022 and 2019, though most recent inspections (2023-2025) have passed without issue. The building has experienced significant maintenance issues in the past, including a heat and hot water emergency affecting the entire building in November 2019, which was resolved within three days.

Earlier violations included an illegal double-cylinder lock on the front gate noted in March 2019, which was subsequently corrected. Multiple inspections have revealed various pest infestations, including a documented cockroach infestation in Apartment 1 (first story) and a rat infestation in the cellar in March 2019, both of which were addressed by June 2019. While recent rodent inspections have shown improvement, the consistent pattern of pest-related issues, particularly the recent open complaint in 2025, suggests ongoing maintenance challenges related to building hygiene and pest control.
