663 Jefferson Place, Bronx, NY 10456

The three-story Old Law Tenement building at 663 Jefferson Place in Morrisania, owned by Krystal Campbell, has experienced persistent maintenance and pest control challenges since the 2019-2020 period. The most recent inspection in September 2024 revealed several open violations, including issues with the building's entrance door security (both hinges and locking mechanisms), missing stair balusters, window problems in Apartment 2, and an active roach infestation in that same unit.

The building also has outstanding violations regarding bedbug reporting requirements dating back to 2022-2023, and a 2019 violation regarding the improper placement of the inspection certificate frame. The property has a documented history of rodent activity, with multiple complaints registered in 2021-2022 that triggered inspections confirming rat presence, though some earlier complaints were closed due to prior complaints being filed. There were also significant pest-related issues in 2019, including multiple unsanitary condition complaints involving pests.

Additional challenges included two emergency electrical power outage complaints filed in August 2019, though these were subsequently closed in December 2020. Despite these ongoing issues, the building did receive a plumbing permit in May 2019, indicating some level of maintenance activity, though the current state of violations suggests that many habitability concerns remain unaddressed. The building's age and class designation as an Old Law Tenement, combined with its history of systematic pest issues and infrastructure violations, paint a concerning picture of living conditions, particularly regarding maintenance response times and building systems upkeep.
