1325 Jerome Avenue, Bronx, NY 10452

1325 Jerome Avenue is a 15-story, 255-unit residential building completed in 2019, currently owned by John McDonald. The property has experienced significant maintenance challenges in 2025, with multiple reports of pest problems, including several complaints about unsanitary conditions and rodent activity between April and June 2025. There have also been recurring issues with water-related problems, including slow leaks and heavy flow incidents, as well as electrical and heating system concerns, notably a building-wide heat and hot water issue in April 2025.

The building's elevator system has been a particular point of focus, with multiple complaints about devices on the property in March 2025, leading to Oath Violations being served. Recent violations indicate ongoing safety and maintenance concerns, particularly regarding water damage, with active DOB violations related to sprinkler system issues documented in March 2025. The property has also faced challenges with its energy efficiency compliance, including active violations from 2023-2024 regarding the failure to display energy efficiency scores and grades.

Despite these current issues, the building has maintained a clean record for bedbug infestations, reporting no affected units in the past four filing periods from 2020 to 2024. While numerous service requests and inspections have been initiated in 2025, many have been complicated by access issues, with inspectors frequently unable to complete their evaluations and requiring residents to schedule follow-up inspections. The building has received several permits for various maintenance work since 2020, suggesting ongoing efforts to address infrastructure needs, though the frequency of complaints in 2025 indicates persistent challenges with building systems and maintenance response.
