1442 Bryant Avenue, Bronx, NY 10459

This three-story, three-unit building at 1442 Bryant Avenue in East Morrisania, currently owned by Chesky Parnes, has experienced numerous maintenance issues over the past several years. Most recently, in January 2025, there was a plumbing/water supply problem that required HPD intervention and resulted in open violations.

Throughout late 2023, the building faced recurring issues with heat/hot water systems affecting multiple apartments, including emergencies in November and December 2023. Several significant violations were recorded in late 2023 through early 2024, including lack of hot water and gas supply problems in Apartment 3, and issues with the heating system access and smoke detector requirements in the building's common areas. The property has active Environmental Control Board violations from November 2023 regarding illegal conversions of living spaces, specifically an unauthorized duplex between the first floor and basement with bathroom and kitchen facilities, as well as an illegal SRO (Single Room Occupancy) at the third story.

Building maintenance records show a pattern of rodent activity between 2017 and 2022, with multiple inspections resulting in failures for both rat activity and other unspecified reasons. The building's water supply and heating system issues have persisted as a significant concern, with multiple emergency complaints filed between November 2023 and January 2025. Additional violations from early 2024 require attention to a public hall ceiling and roof repair, bedbug reporting compliance, and various maintenance requirements in common areas.
