917 Bryant Avenue, Bronx, NY 10474

917 Bryant Avenue is a two-story, 6-unit residential building in Hunts Point, constructed in 1916 and currently owned by Ramon Lorenzo. The property has experienced significant maintenance challenges, particularly in recent years. Most notably, there has been an ongoing rodent infestation issue, with multiple inspections between 2021 and 2025 indicating persistent rat activity, though a passing inspection in March 2025 suggests some improvement.

A comprehensive inspection on November 28, 2023, generated multiple complaints across various categories including plumbing issues, mold (both unsanitary conditions and a reported violation), and several infrastructure concerns such as flooring, walls, ceilings, and electrical systems. The building currently has several open violations from 2024 that require attention, including missed bedbug report filings, improper smoke detector notices, issues with window guards, and concerns with the building's heating system access. The property has also experienced water leak issues, heavy flow conditions, and problems with pest control that have required multiple interventions.

The November 2023 complaints generated HPD inspections, resulting in some issues being resolved while others remain open, particularly concerning mold conditions. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of infrastructure and safety concerns, with violations related to carbon monoxide detector maintenance and various building code compliance issues. Despite these challenges, there have been some recent inspections that passed, suggesting ongoing management efforts to address the building's maintenance needs. The property has undergone multiple rodent control interventions over the past few years, indicating an active response to pest management requirements.
