1402 Bristow Street, Bronx, NY 10459

This five-story, 80-unit residential building located at 1402 Bristow Street in East Morrisania, owned by Herminio Torres and constructed in 2001, has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past several years. Most notably, as of June 2025, there are multiple open complaints regarding doors, plumbing (sink/basin), and a recently reported door issue in June 2025 that has been designated as an emergency. The property has faced persistent problems with pests, including active rodent violations in Apartments 1A and 3A, along with historical pest reports showing instances of both bedbugs and rodent activity between 2017 and 2024.

Elevator service has been a recurring concern, with multiple complaints documented between 2022 and 2024 regarding single device operation and no alternate service, though inspections typically found no violations. The building has also faced significant maintenance challenges, including multiple plumbing issues (sinks, toilets), floor maintenance problems, and mold complaints, some of which have required emergency responses. The building's systems have undergone several inspections revealing various violations requiring attention.

These include a C-class violation from 2024 for mice and roach infestations in Apartment 3A, and a series of B-class violations in Apartment 1A documented in late 2024 for wood floor repairs and cabinet issues. The property has faced difficulties meeting housing codes regarding door repairs, flooring issues, and unsanitary conditions. Earlier mechanical systems issues included boiler problems in 2023 with a noted water leak from one of the units, and various elevator maintenance concerns documented through both 311 complaints and Environmental Control Board violations. Regular inspections for rodent activity have shown mixed results, with multiple failures recorded between 2019 and 2023, though the most recent inspection results from November 2023 indicated "Other" reasons for failure.
