1333 Bristow Street, Bronx, NY 10459

The Morrisania tenement building at 1333 Bristow Street, owned by Christie Sze, was constructed in 1910 and contains three stories with three residential units. The property has experienced several maintenance issues over recent years, with the most notable incidents occurring in April 2021 when emergency complaints were filed and subsequently resolved regarding both water leaks (heavy flow) and ceiling paint/plaster problems, with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development confirming corrections were made.

The building had one Housing Maintenance Code violation related to bedbug reporting requirements in April 2021, though this appears to have been resolved, as evidenced by consistent annual bedbug reports from 2021 through 2024 showing zero infested units or eradication cases. The property's rodent control history shows a significant pattern of rat activity, with inspections in late 2022 (November 29 and October 24) indicating continued rat presence, while earlier records from 2017 show multiple bait applications and compliance checks that documented rat activity, suggesting an ongoing pest control challenge.

The building's structure and systems have reached a century of age, and while some maintenance issues have been addressed, the documented rat activity and historical water-related problems indicate persistent environmental challenges. The property has maintained regular bedbug reporting compliance since the initial violation, showing proactive management in this area of pest control.
