1486 Bryant Avenue, Bronx, NY 10460

The three-story, three-unit building at 1486 Bryant Avenue in East Morrisania, owned by Riyaz Ali, has experienced several notable issues over the past few years. Most recently, in December 2023, there was a heat and hot water complaint for the entire building, though inspectors were unable to gain access for verification.

The building has a documented pattern of hot water and heating issues, with similar complaints filed in January 2022, including multiple incidents in January 2022 alone (January 8, 29, and 31), one of which involved an emergency inspection. Additionally, in January 2022, there was a window pane issue that resulted in violations. The building faced pest-related challenges in late 2020, with multiple complaints about unsanitary conditions and mouse sightings in November 2020, though no violations were issued following inspections.

In a more positive development, as of May 2025, the building has reported a thorough bedbug eradication effort, with 19 units treated and no current infestations, suggesting significant progress in building maintenance and pest control. The property, constructed in 1931, is currently classified as "Hereafter Converted Class B" under building classification, indicating it may have undergone some form of conversion from its original use. While the building has experienced various maintenance issues, particularly regarding heating systems, the recent bedbug eradication efforts demonstrate some level of ongoing property maintenance and attention to resident concerns.
