2297 Sedgwick Avenue, Bronx, NY 10468

2297 Sedgwick Avenue is a 4-story, 9-unit New Law tenement building constructed in 1910, currently owned by Daniel Padernacht. The building has experienced recurring heating system issues, with multiple housing complaints recorded throughout late 2024 regarding lack of heat and hot water affecting the entire building. The most recent service request was made in March 2025 concerning electrical outlet and switch problems, for which violations were issued though the specific resolution details are not fully provided.

The building's infrastructure has shown several maintenance needs, including issues with the intercom/buzzer system, which resulted in multiple service requests between October 2024 and March 2025. Safety and code compliance concerns have been documented, including open violations as of November 2024 regarding defective electrical systems in Apartment 1S, a broken entrance lock, and issues with the building's marble tread. The property has undergone several rodent inspections between 2021 and 2024, with evidence of rat activity recorded in multiple instances, though bait was applied in 2021 and some recent inspections showed improvements.

Notably, the building has consistently reported zero bedbug infestations in the past six annual reports (2019-2024), and it appears to have maintained compliance with carbon monoxide detector requirements following an inspection in May 2024. While the building has shown some positive trends in recent years, such as the absence of bedbug infestations and improved compliance with certain safety requirements, the recurring nature of heating system problems and ongoing maintenance issues suggests there are persistent challenges affecting resident comfort and building systems. The property's age and history of various maintenance complaints reflect typical challenges for a century-old New York City tenement building, with particular attention needed to address the multiple open violations and recurring heating system issues.
