65 Jesup Place, Bronx, NY 10452

65 Jesup Place is a 6-story, 38-unit residential building constructed in 1926 and currently owned by Vicki Babulas. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, with the most concerning being a 2-alarm fire on June 27, 2025, that damaged approximately 50% of the second-floor joists and affected an entry hall area of Apartment 2C. This incident has led to active violations related to exterior brick masonry wall disrepair and structural concerns as of June 30, 2025. The property has a pattern of heat and hot water-related complaints, with multiple incidents documented in 2024-2025, though some were closed due to lack of access for inspection.

There have also been recurring pest issues, particularly in Apartments 3E and 4F, with open violations for rodent infestations as of September 2024. Recent inspections in 2025 have shown periods of rodent activity, though some inspection results indicate compliance. Other maintenance issues include door problems (open as of March 2025), past water leaks, appliance issues, and general unsanitary conditions. The building's safety systems have required attention, with violations in 2024-2025 related to smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors in Apartments 3E and 4F.

A significant violation was issued in 2024 regarding the presence of encumbered public hall stairs. The Department of Buildings has conducted various inspections, most recently in 2025, noting structural concerns with exterior walls. Historical data shows consistent bedbug-free reporting since 2019, but recent rodent inspection results indicate ongoing challenges with pest control. The building's maintenance history shows a mix of resolved and open violations, with particular attention needed to address the structural and safety issues identified following the recent fire incident.
