1434 Jesup Avenue, Bronx, NY 10452

The 8-unit, 2-family house at 1434 Jesup Avenue in Mount Eden, built in 1920 and currently owned by Jesup Group LLC, has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past several years. Most recently, in 2025, there have been complaints about heat/hot water systems and plumbing issues in bathrooms, as well as problems with doors, though these complaints were closed without inspection due to access issues.

In 2024, the building faced multiple electrical problems, including power outages and lighting failures in September, for which some conditions were verified as corrected while others remained uninspectable due to access issues. A notable pattern emerged in 2024 and 2025, where several complaints could not be properly investigated by HPD inspectors due to access denial, raising concerns about communication between management and tenants regarding maintenance issues. Earlier issues from 2020 included a mold problem, and in 2023, construction-related complaints resulted in a stop work order, though this was fully rescinded shortly thereafter.

The building's recent history shows particular concern with electrical systems, as evidenced by multiple emergency complaints in 2024 alone. However, there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the past year (2023-2024), and recent Department of Buildings inspections, including construction safety compliance checks in 2023, generally resulted in no violations being found or access being denied. While many complaints have been resolved or closed, the recurring access issues and pattern of electrical and maintenance complaints suggest underlying infrastructural challenges that occasionally disrupt basic services and systems.
