1481 Bryant Avenue, Bronx, NY 10460

The three-story, three-unit building at 1481 Bryant Avenue in East Morrisania, currently owned by Reynold Douglas, has experienced several maintenance issues over the past five years, with the most recent concerns emerging in early 2025 involving sewage problems that were classified as an unsanitary condition, though no housing violations were found upon inspection. The building has a documented history of water-related issues, including damp spots in 2023 and a series of plumbing complaints in 2021, when multiple housing maintenance complaints were filed for various problems including walls and ceilings requiring paint/plaster work, mold, pests, and plumbing issues.

Between 2020 and 2024, significant violations were recorded in Apartment 2, including carbon monoxide detector issues, vermin infestation, broken doors, and a defective kitchen countertop, though these violations appear to remain open as of the most recent records. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of moisture-related problems and maintenance issues, though inspections conducted in 2024 found the building to have no active bedbug infestations, with previous reports from 2023 and 2022 also showing zero infested units.

Rodent inspections between 2015 and 2022 indicate various levels of rodent activity, with some inspections requiring bait application, particularly in 2019. The property has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements since 2019, consistently reporting zero infested units. While there have been multiple complaints and violations recorded against the property, many recent service requests, including those in 2023 and 2025, have resulted in inspections that found no violations of housing laws, suggesting improved compliance with housing maintenance codes.
