2734 Sedgwick Avenue, Bronx, NY 10468

2734 Sedgwick Avenue is a 6-story, 58-unit New Law Tenement building located in the Kingsbridge neighborhood, constructed in 1926 and currently managed by owner Kenny Nasab. The building has experienced numerous maintenance issues in recent years, with the most significant concerns emerging in 2025, including multiple heating/hot water complaints affecting the entire building, various interior maintenance issues (walls, ceilings, floors), and a pest control complaint that was investigated but found not to violate housing laws. The property has ongoing violations from a December 2024 inspection of apartment 1K, including problems with mice infestation, mold conditions, and defective plastered surfaces, along with violations from apartment 4B regarding bathroom repairs.

The building has a documented history of rodent activity, with nine compliance inspections between 2022 and 2025 consistently showing rat presence, most recently confirmed in May 2025. Several housing maintenance code violations remain open, including issues with doors, windows, and various interior surfaces that were documented through multiple 311 service requests in 2025. The property experienced building-wide heating system problems in early 2025, with multiple emergency complaints and inspections showing no heat/hot water conditions. The Department of Buildings records also show past concerns, including a gas hook-up inspection in October 2024 and a building stability complaint in January 2024, though some previous violations related to plumbing and mice infestation in apartment 4B were resolved between late 2024 and early 2025.

While the building has undergone some permit work in recent years, including plumbing and electrical permits issued in 2024, the persistent nature of the maintenance issues suggests ongoing challenges with building upkeep and resident comfort. The absence of bedbug filings in the past three years (2022-2025) and the resolved infestations from 2019-2020 indicate some improvement in pest control efforts, though the current rodent conditions suggest continued challenges. The building's maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive rather than preventive maintenance, with multiple emergency complaints requiring inspection and resolution. The concentration of violations and complaints in 2024-2025 suggests increased tenant reporting activity, though many issues remain unresolved as of July 2025.
