2710 Sedgwick Avenue, Bronx, NY 10468

As of July 2025, 2710 Sedgwick Avenue, a five-story New Law Tenement built in 1924 with 102 units, is experiencing multiple maintenance challenges under the ownership of Monique Strickland. The building has recurring issues with unsanitary conditions, particularly rodent infestations and water-related problems. Most recently, in May 2025, there were multiple complaints about flooring, walls, ceilings, and ventilation systems that HPD was unable to inspect, along with reported pest issues and a water leak that went uninspected due to access problems.

These followed earlier violations from 2024 regarding water leaks, paint/plaster issues, and emergency conditions including mold. The elevator system has been a persistent concern, with multiple complaints recorded between 2022-2024 about single device operation and lack of alternate service, leading to violations and penalties including a $1,250 charge in 2024 for a defective reverse phase relay. The building's mechanical systems have also faced scrutiny, including a boiler-related violation in 2023 with a $312 penalty still showing as active. Inspections for rodent activity have shown consistent problems, with the most recent failing inspection in July 2025 indicating ongoing pest control challenges.

The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbugs, with no reported infestations in recent years. While some violations have been resolved, including certain paint/plaster and floor repair issues, several remain open or were closed without verification of resolution, particularly in apartments 1J and 1G. The property has faced scrutiny for various maintenance issues throughout 2024-2025, including problems with floors, walls, ceilings, and general building systems, though many recent service requests have been closed due to inspector access issues rather than resolution confirmation. The building's history shows a pattern of unresolved or recurring maintenance issues, particularly related to water damage, pest control, and building systems, with recent complaints suggesting ongoing challenges with access for inspections and resolution verification.
