At 2251 Sedgwick Avenue, a 61-unit, 6-story New Law Tenement built in 1924 and currently owned by Peter Nowak, recent months have been marked by significant water-related maintenance issues. As of May 2025, there are three open complaints regarding slow water leaks, continuing a pattern observed earlier in May 2025. Other recent issues include plumbing problems with radiators, various water-related complaints (including heavy flow), concerns about unsanitary mold conditions, and maintenance issues involving ceilings, flooring, and sink basins, though most of these were resolved through inspections showing no violations.

The building has also received multiple housing maintenance code violations, particularly affecting apartment 1A, which has open violations related to defective electrical outlets and a loose bathroom radiator cover. Apartment 2H has similar unresolved issues, including inadequate gas supply to fixtures and peeling paint surfaces. The building has an active history with mandatory energy efficiency compliance requirements, with multiple open violations regarding the failure to display energy efficiency scores and grades, dating back as far as 2021.

A notable violation from 2019 regarding elevator defects remains active. The property has generally maintained compliance with rodent inspections, passing most recent inspections, with only one failed inspection in 2022 for "Other Reasons." The building's maintenance record shows a combination of persistent water-related issues and recurring energy efficiency compliance failures, though many recent complaints have been investigated and closed without finding violations. This analysis is based on the most current records available through October 2023 and verified data up until July 2025, focusing on significant maintenance issues and violations that impact resident experience and safety.
