1839 Sedgwick Avenue, Bronx, NY 10453

1839 Sedgwick Avenue, a 4-story, 7-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1891, is currently experiencing significant maintenance challenges under owner Savatri Ramlogan. The property has a persistent rodent problem, with multiple inspections in 2024-2025 documenting rat activity despite bait applications (most recently on June 25, 2025). The building has faced recurring heat and hot water issues throughout 2025, with numerous complaints and violations recorded between January and June of this year, though some were resolved through restoration of services.

Recent complaints from June 2025 have resulted in violations for plumbing issues, including water supply problems, and unsanitary conditions. The building's maintenance history shows several ongoing issues requiring attention. Notable violations from 2024 include electrical problems in Apartment 1A (specifically regarding inadequate power supply to fixtures and outlets), an infestation of mice in Apartment 1A, and various maintenance issues in other units including defective plumbing, broken fixtures, and plaster damage.

The property has also experienced water-related problems in 2025, with multiple complaints about plumbing issues including toilets, sinks, and more recently, evidence of mold. While the building has not reported any bedbug infestations in the most recent reporting period (2023-2024), the persistent nature of the rat and plumbing issues raises questions about overall building maintenance. The most recent electrical violation from November 2024 regarding inadequate power supply to fixtures in Apartment 1A remains open as of my last knowledge update.
