1458 Jesup Avenue, Bronx, NY 10452

The 3-unit, 2-story building at 1458 Jesup Avenue in Mount Eden, owned by Louis Sferrazza, was constructed in 1920 and is classified as a "HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS B" property. The building has experienced several significant issues over the past five years, most notably regarding pest control. While there has been consistent compliance with bedbug reporting requirements since 2021, with all reports indicating zero infestations, there have been concerns about rodent activity.

A rat sighting was reported in July 2020, prompting health department violations and subsequent inspections. The most recent rodent-related inspection in April 2025 noted rat activity, though it was followed by a passing compliance inspection in June 2025. Between 2022 and 2024, all rodent inspections (including both initial and compliance types) resulted in passing grades, except for the April 2025 inspection.

The building has maintained regular compliance with housing maintenance codes, with no outstanding violations noted in recent inspections. The property underwent two bedbug-related violations in 2022 and 2023 for failing to file the annual bedbug report, but this issue appears to have been resolved, as subsequent reports from 2024 to 2025 show consistent compliance with zero infestations reported. The building's maintenance record shows attention to pest control issues, particularly with the prompt follow-up and resolution of health department violations, though the recent pattern of rodent activity suggests this remains an ongoing challenge.
