440 Jackson Avenue, Bronx, NY 10455

440 Jackson Avenue is a 6-story, 47-unit residential building constructed in 1928, currently owned by 500 Trinity LLC. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues in recent months, with multiple open complaints as of May 2025 including problems with doors, walls requiring paint/plaster work, cabinet issues, sink plumbing problems, and pest-related concerns.

Notably, apartment 2G has multiple open violations from a December 2024 inspection, including issues with water leaks in bathrooms, defective plastered surfaces, and the absence of carbon monoxide detecting devices. The property also shows a concerning pattern of air quality and mold-related complaints, with the most recent being investigated in April 2025, though some mold complaints were closed without violations. The building's maintenance history reveals ongoing challenges with both internal and external systems, including multiple open Department of Buildings violations regarding failure to submit required inspection reports from as far back as 2018-2020, and a recent June 2024 violation related to Energy Efficiency Reporting.

While past bedbug reports consistently show zero infestations, rat activity has been documented in 2020, 2021, 2023, and most recently through an August 2023 initial inspection, though a compliance inspection in January 2024 passed. These records suggest persistent maintenance challenges and system compliance issues, particularly regarding building safety equipment and interior maintenance requirements. The property's location in Mott Haven places it within a neighborhood undergoing significant changes, as evidenced by various recent complaints and violations across different building systems and maintenance requirements.
