1182 Jackson Avenue, Bronx, NY 10456

The three-story, three-unit tenement building at 1182 Jackson Avenue in Morrisania, owned by Gerald Jajoute, has experienced several notable maintenance and safety issues in recent years. In September 2024, the building faced complaints regarding heat and hot water issues, as well as electrical wiring problems, though inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) were unable to be completed due to access issues.

The building has a concerning history of failing to properly file required annual bedbug reports, receiving Class A violations in 2021-2024 for non-compliance with this important public health requirement, though the most recent bedbug report for 2023-2024 shows no infestations or re-infestations. A significant incident occurred in September 2022 when unauthorized façade removal work resulted in a $12,500 violation penalty, though this was ultimately resolved. The building's rodent inspection history shows generally positive results, with passed inspections from 2015-2022, though there were two failed inspections in 2010.

The property has also been the subject of two complaints regarding adjacent building protection (2022) and sweeping (2025), both of which were resolved without penalties. The combination of recent heating, electrical, and bedbug reporting issues, along with the unauthorized construction work in 2022, suggests ongoing maintenance challenges in this century-old building. However, the recent bedbug report indicating no current infestations and the improvement in rodent control since 2010 are positive developments in terms of building conditions.
