Augrented Insights Report for 1981 Sedgwick Avenue

The 6-story, 225-unit building at 1981 Sedgwick Avenue in University Heights, built in 1952 and currently owned by Thomas Frye, has experienced a series of maintenance issues in recent months. Most notably, in 2025 alone, there have been multiple complaints and violations related to heat and hot water systems affecting both the entire building and individual apartments, with several of these incidents classified as emergencies. The building has also faced issues with unsanitary conditions, including a recent mold complaint in March 2025.

A thorough inspection of apartment 4A in October 2024 revealed multiple violations requiring attention, including issues with window sashes, radiator covers, smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and the presence of roaches, though most of these violations were certified as corrected by late 2024. The property has had consistent heat and hot water complaints throughout 2025, with similar issues recurring in early 2025 after initial repairs were reportedly completed. Recent plumbing concerns include a slow water leak reported in March 2025.

While the building's bedbug reporting shows an initial infestation in 2021-2022 and another in 2022-2023, the most recent filings from 2023-2024 indicate no current or re-infested units. Inspection records show a mix of compliance and non-compliance with rodent control measures over recent years, including some failures between 2022 and 2023, though more recent inspections in 2024 and 2025 have passed. Historical Department of Buildings complaints from 2023-2024 regarding work without permits, elevator issues, and debris concerns were generally found to warrant no violations upon inspection. The property underwent some permitting activity in 2019, specifically for exterior work.
