2135 Nereid Avenue, Bronx, NY 10466

The two-family residence at 2135 Nereid Avenue in Wakefield, owned by Gregory Jackson, has had a concerning history of maintenance issues concentrated within a short period in mid-2019. During June and July 2019, the building experienced multiple simultaneous problems including plumbing issues (basil/sink), electrical problems (lighting, outlet/switch), window frame defects, pest infestations, and water leaks, with many of these being classified as emergency situations.

A critical inspection on July 10, 2019, revealed multiple violations in Apartment 1A, including serious issues with water leaks, electrical systems, fire egress (including obstructed windows), door security, and various interior maintenance needs such as ceiling light fixture repairs, plaster surface restoration, bathroom fixture problems, and the need for functional carbon monoxide detectors. These violations were all marked as closed, suggesting they were addressed, though the specific resolution details are not provided in the record. More positively, the building underwent a rodent inspection in December 2022 which it passed, indicating there have been no significant pest issues since 2019.

Additionally, there was a zoning complaint filed in May 2019, though this was dismissed as not warranting any violation upon inspection in September 2019. The building's recent history (2023-2025) shows no major complaints or violations on record, suggesting an apparent period of improved maintenance and stability, though this should be considered in light of the significant cluster of issues documented in 2019. The property is a 2-story, 2-family house built in 1960 and appears to be in its original configuration.
