741 Jennings Street, Bronx, NY 10459

741 Jennings Street is a 5-story, 15-unit New Law tenement building constructed in 1905 and currently owned by Leopold Knopfler. The building has experienced significant maintenance issues in 2025, with particular concerns regarding heat and hot water service, as evidenced by multiple complaints to the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) in May 2025.

Additionally, there are ongoing housing maintenance code violations from a December 2024 inspection of apartment 4E, including issues with plaster surfaces, kitchen cabinets, and bathroom tiles, though some violations have been recently categorized as "Open." The building has demonstrated recurring pest management challenges, with several emergency complaints regarding unsanitary conditions and mold in May 2025, and the building's rodent inspections have consistently shown rat activity between 2022 and 2025, with the most recent June 2025 inspection resulting in a "Failed for Other Reasons" designation. The property has several active Department of Buildings (DOB) violations related to external inspections that have not been filed for multiple years (2018, 2019, and 2020) as of June 2023, and an environmental control board violation from October 2023 regarding a missing support bracket for a third-floor window A/C unit, resulting in a $500 penalty.

Safety concerns have also been documented, with emergency complaints in May 2025 about missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. While there have been no documented bedbug infestations since at least 2022, and some maintenance issues have been resolved through HPD inspections, the building's overall condition suggests ongoing maintenance and safety challenges that require attention.
