2286 Sedgwick Avenue, Bronx, NY 10468

The three-story residential building at 2286 Sedgwick Avenue in University Heights, owned by Angel Aquino, has been registered as a Class A property constructed in 2005. The building experienced a series of maintenance issues in March 2023, with multiple complaints filed through the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) on March 8 of that year, covering a range of concerns including heat and hot water problems, plumbing issues with toilets, electrical problems resulting in no lighting, unsanitary conditions potentially involving pests, and concerns with window frames.

Most notably, three of these complaints were categorized as emergency situations while two were deemed non-emergency. The HPD faced access difficulties in inspecting the units for several of the reported issues, leading to the closure of those complaints with the note that new complaints should be filed if the conditions persisted.

In terms of follow-up, two of the complaints were closed through inspections—specifically the electrical issue and the window frame concern—though no violations were recorded for the electrical problem. The other complaints remained unresolved due to access issues, and have since been closed as of September 27, 2023. While the majority of these complaints have been officially closed in the HPD system, the initial cluster of issues reported in March 2023 suggests a period of significant maintenance challenges for the building during that timeframe, with particular attention needed to the initial access issues faced by inspectors.
