647 Jefferson Place, Bronx, NY 10456
The three-story, three-unit, 1910 tenement building at 647 Jefferson Place in Morrisania has experienced persistent maintenance issues over the past several years, with particular concerns regarding heat and hot water systems. There have been multiple complaints and emergency service requests about heat/hot water problems affecting the entire building between 2018 and 2020, with some repairs being verified as completed during HPD inspections.
More recent building concerns include two open bedbug report violations from 2022-2024 and violations related to blocked fire escapes from 2021, though these do not currently appear to impact any active resident services. The building has a documented history of rodent activity, with several inspections from 2016 to 2022 showing rat presence, though some subsequent bait applications suggest attempts at mitigation.
Of particular note are several outstanding violations with significant financial implications: The property owner, Larry Armbrister, is currently facing multiple Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations from 2019-2021 with associated penalties totaling $51,250, related to failure to comply with commission orders and filing requirements following construction work. Additionally, there are two active Department of Buildings violations from October 2018 regarding failure to certify correction of immediately hazardous issues, and a safety inspection from 2021 indicating fire escape concerns. The building's recent inspection history shows relatively few new complaints since 2020, with the most recent service request being for door/window issues in 2022, though many past complaints resulted from residents' difficulty providing access for inspections.
