1421 Bryant Avenue, Bronx, NY 10459

The three-story, three-unit building at 1421 Bryant Avenue in East Morrisania, owned by Cubin Boykin, has a concerning history of maintenance issues over the past decade. Most notably, there has been a consistent pattern of violations related to bedbug reporting compliance from 2021 through 2024, with four open violations on record indicating the property owner has not filed the required annual bedbug reports as mandated by Housing Maintenance Code Section HMC.

This ongoing non-compliance suggests a dismissive approach to pest management protocols that directly impact tenant comfort and safety. The building's pest control record shows significant fluctuations in rodent inspection outcomes, particularly between 2015 and 2017, with multiple failures recorded during that period.

These included three consecutive failures in 2015-2016, followed by another failure in 2017, though all subsequent inspections, including the most recent one in 2022, resulted in passing grades. While the most recent rodent inspections indicate improved conditions, the repeated non-compliance during the earlier years raises concerns about the building's historical pest management practices. The property, constructed in 1910 and previously converted to Class A status, has maintained its three-story structure throughout these documented years.
