455 Jackson Avenue, Bronx, NY 10455

The 60-unit, 6-story tenement building at 455 Jackson Avenue in Mott Haven, owned by Jeff Fox and constructed in 1929, has experienced several maintenance challenges in recent years. Most notably, there have been recurring heat and hot water issues, with multiple emergency complaints in January 2025, though these were subsequently closed following confirmations of resolution. More recently, the building has faced problems with mold (April 2025), window frames (June 2025), and ceiling conditions (April 2025), the most current of which remains open as of June 2025.

The property has a history of elevator service issues, with multiple complaints about single-device systems and no alternate service between 2020 and 2025, though inspections often found no violations. A substantial violation was issued in December 2024 regarding a sidewalk shed not properly meeting the facade, resulting in a $2,400 penalty. Housing violations from July 2024 indicate several maintenance issues in apartment 3D, including water leaks, broken windows, and mold infestation, with most being marked as open.

The building has maintained a pest-free record in recent bedbug reports from 2019-2023, though there was a one-time incident in 2018 with successful eradication. Recent inspections have shown consistent rodent control compliance, with the most recent inspection in March 2025 passing. While there are currently active violations regarding elevator compliance and a sidewalk shed, most historical violations have been addressed or closed. The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with timely repairs and service continuity, particularly concerning building systems like heat and elevators.
