2639 Sedgwick Avenue, Bronx, NY 10468

The five-story, 10-unit apartment building at 2639 Sedgwick Avenue in Kingsbridge, owned by Abraham Robenzadeh and constructed in 1916 as a New Law tenement, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there has been an ongoing pattern of heating and hot water problems throughout 2025, with multiple emergency complaints filed in January and February, including an active construction lead dust complaint as of June 2025.

The building has documented pest problems, particularly in apartment 1B as of November 2023, showing issues with roaches and mice, along with problems related to a water leak, bathroom tiles, and a defective carbon monoxide detector. The property has also faced plumbing challenges, including sewage and pest-related issues in January 2025, and violations concerning hot water temperatures exceeding the maximum allowable limits. Additional concerns include construction-related disturbances, with complaints about work without proper permits in June 2025 resulting in a partial vacate order.

The building's maintenance history shows some improvements, as evidenced by bedbug reporting showing no infested units in the most recent 2024 filing, and a rodent inspection in May 2024 resulting in a "Passed" rating, though earlier inspections in 2023 and 2022 revealed rat activity requiring bait application. Recent violations indicate administrative oversights, including failure to file mandatory external low-pressure inspections in 2023. While many complaints have been resolved through timely inspections and corrections, the frequency and nature of heating, plumbing, and pest-related issues suggest persistent maintenance challenges affecting tenant comfort and safety.
