1461 Bryant Avenue, Bronx, NY 10460

1461 Bryant Avenue is a three-story, nine-unit residential building constructed in 1923 and currently owned by Nelson Aponte. The property has experienced recurring habitability issues over recent years, particularly between 2022 and 2023, with multiple reports of unsanitary conditions including mold and pest infestations.

In 2022 alone, there were several HPD complaints regarding pests and mold, with inspections resulting in violations for pest issues. An emergency mold complaint was logged in May 2023, and the building currently has multiple open violations related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by the Housing Maintenance Code. The building has undergone multiple rodent inspections, with inspections in July 2022 passing, though subsequent August 2022 inspections failed for "other reasons." Additional documented maintenance concerns include lead paint hazards and insect infestations in apartment 1F, documented in September 2022 violations.

These violations noted the presence of roaches and mice throughout the apartment, along with issues requiring repair including a bathroom fixture problem and peeling paint. While there was a crane-related complaint in March 2022, it was determined that no violation warranted an inspection. The property has maintained some compliance with rodent control requirements, as evidenced by passing inspections in both July 2022 and 2018, though the pattern of recurring pest-related service requests suggests ongoing maintenance challenges that continue to require attention.
