1450 Jesup Avenue, Bronx, NY 10452

The 8-story, 49-unit building at 1450 Jesup Avenue in Mount Eden, owned by Peter Fine and constructed in 2006, has experienced persistent maintenance and pest control challenges in recent years. Most notably, there has been an ongoing rat infestation problem, with multiple inspections in 2025 (April to July) consistently showing rat activity, though some inspections had bait applied. In 2024-2025, the building faced various apartment-specific violations, particularly in units 4E, 5B, and 6G, involving issues with doors, plaster surfaces, and water leaks.

The building's maintenance history includes multiple pest-related complaints in 2025, including open complaints about bell/buzzer/intercom issues as of June 2025. While there has been some progress in addressing violations, as evidenced by several "Closed" statuses for earlier complaints, the recurrence of similar issues suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The building has a documented history of bedbug infestations between 2019 and 2024, with the most recent report in December 2024 showing one infested unit that was subsequently eradicated.

Elevator maintenance appeared to be a concern during 2018-2019, with multiple complaints about device operation, though more recent elevator issues seem to have been resolved, as indicated by the closure of a 2024 complaint regarding a non-functioning device in the lobby. The property has undergone regular inspections and received various violations, with the Department of Buildings noting some open violations as recently as 2024. The building's relatively young age (built in 2006) contrasts with its significant maintenance challenges, particularly regarding pest control and various apartment-specific issues, though some improvements have been noted through the closure of certain violations.
