908 Bryant Avenue, Bronx, NY 10474

The two-story, three-unit building at 908 Bryant Avenue in Hunts Point, owned by 908 Bryant Ave LLC, has a concerning history of maintenance issues spanning several years. Most notably, there is a persistent rodent problem, with recent inspections in 2025 and 2024 confirming rat activity, and previous inspections showing similar results as recently as 2023. The building has multiple open violations related to bedbug reporting (2023-2024) and a broken glass issue at the front entrance (2022).

The property has a documented history of plumbing issues, including multiple emergency complaints in late 2020 regarding sinks, bathtubs, and toilets, all of which the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) was unable to access to inspect. Safety concerns have also been recorded, including a carbon monoxide detector violation in 2020 that was similarly closed without inspection access, and a period of insufficient heat and hot water affecting the entire building. The building's maintenance record shows regular inspections from various agencies, with the most recent rodent inspections continuing to confirm active infestations.

The property's history includes multiple complaints about unsanitary conditions, particularly regarding pests, sewage issues, and safety equipment. Notably, there were significant habitability concerns reported between late 2019 and 2020, including scalding water temperatures and pest infestations in the ground floor apartment. While some violations from earlier years have been resolved, many more recent violations remain open, suggesting ongoing maintenance challenges. The building, constructed in 1899, continues to be classified as a "HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS A" dwelling, indicating a potentially non-standard conversion history.
