1665 Bryant Avenue, Bronx, NY 10460

The five-story residential building at 1665 Bryant Avenue in East Morrisania, owned by Christopher Crandon, is a 38-unit New Law Tenement structure built in 1931 that has experienced numerous maintenance issues over the past year. Most recently, from February to June 2025, there have been multiple complaints regarding water supply problems and door issues, with HPD inspectors unable to gain access for proper evaluation. The building has faced significant heating and hot water problems in February 2025, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building.

More critically, there is currently an open complaint from February 2025 regarding heavy water leakage, and multiple open violations from August 2024 affecting basement Apartment A and fourth-floor Apartment 4G, concerning water leaks, plaster damage, and mold issues, particularly in bathroom areas. The building's maintenance history reveals persistent plumbing and water-related problems, including multiple water supply complaints and the presence of mold as of June 2025. Additional violations from 2024 include insect infestation (roaches) in basement Apartment A, which was cited as a Class C violation.

The property has also faced multiple code violations regarding energy reporting requirements, though these were dismissed after proper submissions were made. While the building has maintained a zero incidence of bedbugs since 2020 according to the reporting records, recent emergency maintenance issues have included concerns about carbon monoxide detectors, an electric/gas range appliance, and a door-related emergency in June 2025. The property has passed rodent inspections in 2022 and 2023, though there were some regulatory compliance failures in earlier 2017 inspections. The recurring access issues for HPD inspections and ongoing maintenance violations suggest persistent challenges in building maintenance and resident communication.
