1124 Jackson Avenue, Bronx, NY 10456

The two-story, three-unit residential building at 1124 Jackson Avenue in Longwood, owned by Eric Brooks, has been in operation since 1900 and has undergone conversion to Class A status. The property has consistently faced challenges with rodent control and bedbug reporting compliance over recent years.

Most notably, there are persistent open violations related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports for the years 2021 through 2024, as required under Housing Maintenance Code regulations. These violations, while classified as "A" (indicating they are not immediately hazardous), demonstrate a recurring issue with compliance to mandatory reporting requirements. Rodent-related concerns have also been a significant focus, with inspection results showing repeated rat activity over the past decade.

While initial inspections from 2015 through 2019 consistently passed, there has been documented rat activity in both August and October 2022, following a rodent sighting complaint to the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene in July 2019 that took approximately six weeks to close. The building's rodent control program, while showing periods of compliance through passing inspections, appears to have faced challenges in recent years, as suggested by the 2022 inspection results. It is worth noting that the building gains some positive points for being classified as "HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS A," indicating it has been converted to a permanent multiple dwelling status, though this classification is now nearly 125 years old.
