2820 Sedgwick Avenue, Bronx, NY 10468

The 6-story, 69-unit building at 2820 Sedgwick Avenue in Kingsbridge, owned by Ved Parkash, has experienced ongoing maintenance challenges throughout recent years. Active since 2025, there have been multiple concerning issues, including recurring water leaks (with violations issued in April 2025), elevator service problems (with an active complaint from April 2025), and rodent activity. Between April and June 2025 alone, there were 11 documented complaints requiring HPD intervention, including issues with heating/hot water, plumbing (toilets, sinks), electrical systems, and general maintenance problems.

The building has a notable history of elevator-related concerns, with multiple ECB violations regarding the single elevator system and inadequate alternate service. The property has experienced persistent infrastructure challenges, particularly relating to water management and building systems. Multiple violations exist regarding an expired sidewalk shed permit, unsafe conditions, and failure to maintain proper drainage, with penalties totaling over $12,000 based on ECB violations from 2024-2025. While bedbug reports indicate mostly clean records with only two instances between 2018-2019, the building has shown consistent rodent activity, with inspections confirming rat presence in 2024-2025.

The building's violation history reveals multiple unresolved and active violations from 2020-2024, including hazardous conditions and safety equipment deficiencies, though some previously active violations from 2021-2022 were eventually dismissed or resolved. Recent inspection patterns indicate ongoing monitoring of rodent activity, with multiple bait applications throughout 2024 and 2025, suggesting persistent pest management challenges. The property's maintenance record shows a mix of addressed and recurring issues, with many complaints requiring multiple service requests before resolution. Despite these challenges, the building has maintained compliance with official bedbug reporting requirements, showing no significant infestations in recent annual reporting periods.
