639 Jefferson Place, Bronx, NY 10456

639 Jefferson Place is a 3-unit, 3-story old law tenement building constructed in 1901 and currently owned by George Elashvili. The property has shown recent concerning patterns of maintenance issues, particularly through multiple door-related complaints in 2024 that resulted in failed inspections due to lack of access. These include emergency door complaints in August-September 2024, and a mailbox-related issue in September 2024.

In April 2023, significant violations were documented in Apartment 2, including safety concerns such as missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, a mouse infestation, and multiple paint/plaster problems affecting various rooms and hallways. The building's history reveals ongoing challenges with pest management, including documented mouse infestations in both 2019 and 2023. Notably, the property has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements since 2021, consistently reporting zero infestations.

A series of rodent inspections between 2015 and 2022 shows fluctuating conditions, with all but one inspection passing since 2017. The Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2023 remain open and require attention, particularly regarding safety devices and pest control in Apartment 2. While some issues have been resolved, such as the 2019 electrical wiring and boiler room door problems, the recent pattern of closed complaints without proper inspection access suggests ongoing maintenance challenges that may affect resident comfort and safety.
