749 Jackson Avenue, Bronx, NY 10456

749 Jackson Avenue is a 5-story, 10-unit residential building constructed in 1906 in the Longwood neighborhood, currently owned by South Bronx Community Lemle Wolff Llc. The building has experienced significant maintenance issues in recent months, particularly in early 2024, with multiple emergency complaints related to heat and hot water (seven separate complaints between January and February 2024) and various other issues including heavy water leaks, mold, and paint/plaster problems. In January 2024, apartment 3B was inspected and found to have multiple violations including inadequate heat supply, water leaks in the bathroom and private hallway ceilings, defective smoke detector, carbon monoxide detector issues, and problems with plastered surfaces and paint in various locations.

The building's rodent management history shows a pattern of problems from 2015 to 2018, with several bait applications and some non-compliance issues, though a passing inspection in August 2023 suggests recent improvement in this area. The property has consistently demonstrated good bedbug management, with no reported infestations in any of the seven consecutive annual reports filed between 2019 and 2025. While the building's owner has addressed various violations that have been cited through the Housing Maintenance Code process, the frequency and nature of recent heat and water-related complaints suggest ongoing infrastructure challenges.

The building's heating system access was noted as an issue in one of the January 2024 violations, which may indicate maintenance access challenges. The property has a mix of violation classifications, with several rated as "Class B" which represents potential hazards requiring prompt correction, particularly in the heavily impacted 3B unit. While many of the violations from January 2024 have been certified as corrected, the pattern of complaints suggests ongoing resident concerns regarding basic amenities.
