581B Jackson Avenue, Bronx, NY 10455

581B Jackson Avenue is a three-unit, three-story residential building constructed in 2006 and currently owned by Joel Werzberger. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past several years, with the most recent concerns centered around unit 1, which has had multiple violations issued in late 2023, including infestations of roaches and mice, broken closet doors, and mold conditions. Unit 2 has also faced violation notices in 2023 regarding pest infestations and safety concerns about smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, though most violations have been certified as corrected.

The building's maintenance history reveals persistent issues with pests, including documented infestations in 2021, 2022, and 2023, with the most recent violations observed in May 2023 for both units 1 and 2. Other notable incidents include multiple power outages in 2019 and 2022, and a series of mold-related complaints, particularly in 2022 and early 2023. The building's rodent management history shows patterns of treatment from 2016 through 2022, with several instances of rat activity recorded in the earlier years, though an inspection in March 2022 passed without issues.

The property has undergone various inspections and received multiple violation notices, particularly in 2023, which suggest ongoing challenges with building maintenance and compliance with housing codes. While there have been no reported bedbug infestations in recent years (2021-2025), and the most recent housing maintenance code complaints from 2023 have been closed without violations being directly linked to them, the persistence of pest-related issues throughout the building's history remains a significant concern. The building's maintenance record indicates a pattern of recurring issues rather than isolated incidents, with particular attention needed to the ongoing challenges with pests, mold, and building systems such as electricity and plumbing.
