1468 Bryant Avenue, Bronx, NY 10460

1468 Bryant Avenue is a 5-story, 25-unit residential building constructed in 1931, currently owned by 1468 Bryant Realty LLC. The building has experienced multiple concerning issues in recent months, with April and May 2025 showing particular activity including multiple plumbing problems (toilet issues), door problems, pest control needs, and sanitation concerns related to garbage/recycling storage. Notably, there were two attempted inspections by HPD regarding toilet issues in May 2025 that could not be completed, and a heat/hot water complaint in April 2025 where inspectors were unable to gain access to conduct an inspection.

The building's basement apartment (BASEME) was found to have several violations in 2024 related to safety systems, including non-functional smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, missing safety features, and various maintenance issues such as broken light fixtures and electrical outlets. A December 2023 inspection identified hot water issues in the 5C apartment. Historically, the building has maintained relatively good compliance with pest control standards, with annual bedbug inspections showing no reported infestations from 2020-2025, and rodent inspections passing in 2022 and 2025, though there was one failed inspection in 2018.

The Department of Buildings records show various violations and maintenance requirements over the years, including a 2018 violation regarding missing safety equipment (skimming blowdown valve, exposed electrical wiring, etc.) that was resolved. Recent inspections continue to show the need for maintenance attention, particularly regarding plumbing, door security, and pest control. While the building has generally passed its rodent inspections, the recent pattern of plumbing and maintenance issues suggests ongoing challenges with building systems and infrastructure stability.
