Augrented Insights Report for 2285 Sedgwick Avenue

The 6-story, 54-unit tenement building at 2285 Sedgwick Avenue in University Heights, built in 1927 and currently owned by David Blau, has experienced numerous maintenance issues over the past year. Most recently, in June 2025, multiple HPD inspections identified violations related to plumbing (toilets and tubs/showers), door conditions, and mold issues.

Between March and April 2025, there were multiple complaints regarding heat and hot water problems affecting the entire building. Additional concerns have been documented regarding apartment-specific issues, including electrical and gas appliance problems, window pane defects, and various plumbing issues. The building has a significant history of elevator-related violations, particularly between 2018 and 2022, with multiple citations for door monitoring system failures, dirty pits, and other mechanical issues, though these appear to have been resolved.

Inspection records from late 2024 showed open violations in apartments 601 (including issues with CO/smoke detectors and fire egress door locks) and 206 (notably for mold presence, pest infestation, and various maintenance deficiencies). While the building has maintained a bedbug-free status in recent years (2021-2024), there have been ongoing rodent activity concerns, with inspections in 2022 and 2023 showing rat activity, though recent inspections in 2023 and 2024 passed. The property has had multiple emergency complaints related to various maintenance issues, and while many have been closed with violations issued, some remain open or have been closed due to inability to gain access for inspection.
