673 Cauldwell Avenue, Bronx, NY 10455

673 Cauldwell Avenue is a three-story, 10-unit Old Law Tenement building located in the Longwood neighborhood, built in 1900 and currently owned by Shaya Seidenfeld. The building has experienced recurring pest issues, with multiple UNSANITARY CONDITION complaints related to PESTS and GARBAGE/RECYCLING STORAGE appearing in 2025 alone, showing a pattern of ongoing maintenance challenges. While recent rodent control inspections in 2025 have shown some compliance, there was initial rat activity noted in May 2025, and the building has a history of rodent-related issues dating back to at least 2015.

The property has also faced various maintenance issues over the past two years, including plumbing problems with the water supply in late 2024, mold complaints in 2024, and multiple violations related to fire safety equipment in Apartment 1A, specifically concerning inoperable smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in early 2024. The building's management has shown some responsiveness to inspections, with several violations being certified as corrected, though others remain open. Historical data shows consistent pest management challenges, with previous infestations documented in both Apartments 1A and 2, and a pattern of sanitation-related complaints.

The building's records indicate regular inspections and some maintenance work through various permits issued between 2020 and 2022, including multiple plumbing and general maintenance permits. While the property has met some regulatory requirements, such as filing bedbug reports showing zero infested units between 2021-2024, the ongoing pattern of pest-related complaints and building code violations suggests persistent maintenance challenges. The most recent complaints and violations primarily relate to pest control and sanitation issues, though the building has also faced various other maintenance challenges over the past few years, including mold, plumbing, and safety equipment concerns.
