1542 Jesup Avenue, Bronx, NY 10452
The building at 1542 Jesup Avenue in the Mount Eden neighborhood is a 2-story, 6-unit (formerly 5-unit) structure built in 1931, currently owned by Castro Fernandez. The property has experienced significant maintenance and compliance issues since 2019, with multiple active violations related to bedbug reporting (2021-2024), work without permits (including unauthorized basement conversions), and various maintenance deficiencies. The building underwent unauthorized conversions in 2020, during which walls, bathrooms, and kitchen facilities were added, resulting in multiple Environmental Control Board violations with penalties totaling over $45,000.
Recent rodent inspections between 2024-2025 show fluctuating conditions, with the most recent compliance failure indicating continuing pest management challenges. The building has a history of plumbing issues, particularly in early 2020, with multiple complaints about steam pipes, risers, and radiator problems, though no violations were ultimately issued in these cases. There were also complaints regarding wall and ceiling conditions, including paint/plaster issues and pest infestations, many of which were closed after inspections.
The property has undergone several inspection attempts for Local Law 188/17 compliance in 2024, with at least one "Compliance Inspection Completed – No Enforcement Action Required" outcome. While some violations have been resolved, a number remain open as of 2024, including issues related to fire safety, building maintenance, and various construction modifications. The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with both routine upkeep and compliance with housing maintenance codes, particularly regarding documentation and reporting requirements.
