1263 Jerome Avenue, Bronx, NY 10452

Located in Mount Eden, 1263 Jerome Avenue is a 5-story, 10-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1921 and currently owned by Ignacio Castillo. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues, with most recent concerns emerging in March 2025, when multiple complaints were filed regarding flooring problems and plumbing issues, including a sink problem that impacted occupied units.

These recent complaints followed a pattern of violations issued to the property, particularly affecting apartment 4, which has open violations as of December 2024 pertaining to pest infestations (cockroaches and mice), water leaks, floor issues, window problems, and various maintenance deficiencies including flooring repairs, electrical repairs, and wall plastering. The building's maintenance history shows a consistent pattern of flooring-related issues, with multiple 311 complaints filed regarding stair and floor conditions between late 2024 and early 2025, most of which resulted in violations.

While the property has passed several rodent inspections over the past five years, an inspection in July 2025 indicated rat activity. The building has maintained a pest-free record based on bedbug reporting, with zero infested units reported in the annual filings from 2019 through 2024. Though some complaints resulted in inspections that found no violations (including a December 2024 door/window complaint and paint/plaster complaint), the frequency of violations and 311 complaints suggests ongoing maintenance challenges.
