1975 Sedgwick Avenue, Bronx, NY 10453

1975 Sedgwick Avenue is a 5-story, 47-unit residential building located in University Heights, constructed in 1928 and currently owned by Michael Tirotta. The property has experienced recurring issues with heating and hot water systems, with multiple emergency complaints recorded between 2021 and 2025, including seven separate complaints all received on February 2, 2025, though most were resolved within two days of reporting. More recently, there have been multiple violations of the building's smoke-free policy, with ten smoking-related service requests filed between April and June 2025.

The building has also faced safety concerns, including loose handrail violations on the 2nd and 3rd floors noted in December 2023, and an Environmental Control Board citation in 2022 regarding an obstructed exit passageway and improper use of a dumbwaiter conversion on the 4th floor, though these violations were subsequently resolved. The property's maintenance record shows some historical pest issues, with bedbug infestations reported in 2019 and 2021, though recent filings from 2022-2024 show no current infestations. Rodent inspections have generally passed, with the most recent inspection in May 2025 showing no violations.

The building has also faced multiple complaints about potentially illegal conversions between 2021 and 2024, though investigations either found no violations or the inspector was unable to gain access. Concerns about plumbing maintenance were noted in May 2025, resulting in an Oath Violation being served. Both heat and water service maintenance, as well as smoke-free compliance, have been recurring issues affecting resident comfort.
