1434 Bryant Avenue, Bronx, NY 10459

1434 Bryant Avenue is a 5-story, 21-unit residential building constructed in 1931 in the East Morrisania neighborhood, currently owned by Christopher Crandon. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues throughout 2025, with particular attention to door/window problems, including multiple emergency violations related to doors in both the compactor closet areas and the vestibule on the first story.

The property has documented multiple sanitation concerns, including mold (both recently in June 2025 and previously in January 2025), garbage storage issues, and pest problems, with open violations as of October 2024 citing vermin infestations in public hallways. Multiple building systems have shown recurring problems, including electrical issues (with no lighting reported in February 2025), plumbing concerns (notably bathtub/shower problems identified in June 2025), and various maintenance matters including intercom system failures and floor conditions requiring attention. The building's violation history from late 2024 shows several Class B and Class C violations, including issues with self-closing doors in public areas and compactor closets, as well as evidence of pest infestations.

The property has undergone regular rodent inspections between 2010 and 2022, with most passing, though there was one failed inspection in 2021. Despite these various maintenance issues, the building has maintained a bedbug-free record for several years, with no reported infestations from 2019 through at least mid-2025. The most recent series of complaints and violations suggests ongoing challenges with building maintenance and infrastructure, particularly regarding doors, sanitation, and various building systems.
