1675 Bryant Avenue, Bronx, NY 10460

The 42-unit, 5-story building at 1675 Bryant Avenue in East Morrisania, owned by Derrick Lovett, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there have been multiple complaints about heat and hot water failures in early 2025, with both apartment-specific and building-wide issues reported in January and February. Additionally, there have been three separate rodent-related complaints in early 2025, though each inspection by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene found no violations.

The building has also faced various housing maintenance code violations, particularly identified in an April 2024 inspection, including issues with doors in apartments 1D and 1F, water leaks affecting ceiling surfaces, and problems with fire retardant materials in the bulkhead area. The property has a documented history of heating system challenges, particularly evident from multiple emergency heat/hot water complaints throughout 2024-2025. Other maintenance issues have included plumbing problems, water leaks, and ceiling repairs requiring attention.

The building's management has generally responded to violations, as evidenced by closed complaints, though some inspections faced access issues. Records show consistent rodent inspection results, with recent inspections in 2025 passing without violations. The building has maintained an active record of bedbug reporting, with no infestations reported in the past several years. Of note, there are currently open violations related to energy benchmarking reports that were not filed as required, dating back to 2024.
