Jalapeño Joints Black

Pepper, bell    Long Island, NY

The stem joints are black.

I have read this could be conpletely benign, but it is possibly caused by a disease and just wanted to check.

This looks like natural pigmentation due to anthocyanin accumulation. I would call the color more purple than black, but it seems to be reasonably common in peppers.
