575 Jackson Avenue, Bronx, NY 10455

The three-story, three-unit building at 575 Jackson Avenue in Longwood, owned by Chaim Leser and constructed in 2006, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. As of May 2025, there are open complaints regarding plumbing (water supply) and door issues, both classified as emergencies.

The building has faced recurring heating and hot water problems, with multiple complaints in 2024 alone, including an inspection in October that resulted in violations for excessive hot water temperature above 130 degrees in Apartment 1. This apartment has also been the primary focus of various maintenance concerns, including mold issues, rodent infestations, and multiple violations for damaged plaster surfaces and safety system concerns (smoke and carbon monoxide detectors) noted during a September 2021 inspection.

The property has a documented history of infrastructure challenges, particularly with basic services like heat and hot water, as evidenced by numerous HPD complaints between 2024-2025. While recent bedbug reporting (from 2023-2025) shows no infestations, there have been significant rodent activity concerns in past years, with multiple inspections between 2016-2018 showing rat activity, though the building passed a rodent inspection in March 2022. The property has documented repairs and responses to various issues, including plumbing problems (basin/sink), electrical outages, and appliance concerns, though many of these complaints remain open in 2025 and have recurred multiple times, indicating persistent maintenance challenges that affect resident comfort and safety.
