1437 Bryant Avenue, Bronx, NY 10459

The two-story, three-unit building at 1437 Bryant Avenue in East Morrisania, owned by Godfrey Tsui, has experienced recurring issues particularly related to plumbing, sanitation, and pest control over the past several years. Most concerning are the recent open violations from 2021-2024 regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports, and a pattern of plumbing and sanitation problems including multiple toilet issues (2018-2020), sewage concerns (2019-2020), and mold incidents (2019-2020).

The building has had several heat and hot water complaints, with a notable incident in February 2019 where inspectors were unable to gain access to investigate lack of heat or hot water throughout the building. Rodent control has been an ongoing challenge, with multiple inspections between 2017 and 2022 consistently indicating rat activity, though there was one "passed" inspection in 2018.

A group of violations from June 2019 indicates several safety concerns, including issues with window guards, a water leak in a specific apartment, and the need to post important safety notices regarding gas leaks, housing information, smoke detector requirements, and building registration. The building has also been subject to multiple plumbing-related complaints and inspections between 2018 and 2020, with some violations being issued, though others were closed without violations being found. Despite these issues, many complaints have been resolved through inspections, with no violations found in several cases, including the most recent plumbing and sanitation complaints in 2020.
