1178 Jackson Avenue, Bronx, NY 10456

1178 Jackson Avenue in Morrisania is a 3-story, 3-unit residential building constructed in 2003, currently owned by Stefanos Kilafas. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues, particularly in recent months, with multiple HPD complaints and Housing Maintenance Code violations.

Between November 2023 and April 2024, inspections revealed multiple areas of concern including unsanitary conditions with pests (specifically roaches in apartment 3), wall and window frame maintenance issues, and problems with various appliances including the refrigerator and electric/gas range. Notably, there is an open violation as of April 2024 regarding the failure to file the annual bedbug report, and a past bedbug report for 2023-2024 shows no infested units, though this follows previous years' documentation. The building's historical records from 2019 indicate significant pest control challenges in apartment 3, with documented infestations of roaches and mice, along with maintenance issues including leaks and defective plaster surfaces.

However, rodent inspections in 2010, 2015, 2016, 2017, and 2018 show consistently passed inspections, suggesting some improvements in pest management. The property has also undergone various repairs and corrections in response to HPD inspections, though there have been multiple instances where HPD inspectors were unable to gain access to examine reported conditions between November 2023 and April 2024. While some issues have been resolved (such as the roach infestation in apartment 3 as of April 2024), the recurring nature of maintenance complaints and violations over time indicates ongoing challenges in building upkeep and resident comfort.
