2840 Sedgwick Avenue, Bronx, NY 10468

2840 Sedgwick Avenue is a 6-story, 93-unit Class A apartment building constructed in 1937, currently owned by Ved Parkash. The building has experienced recurring elevator safety issues throughout 2023-2025, with multiple violations regarding door lock monitoring devices and alternate service requirements, resulting in substantial penalties totaling over $16,000. Recent housing maintenance reports from 2025 indicate ongoing concerns with building conditions, including water leaks, mold, pests, and appliance problems, though many of these complaints were closed after inspections found no violations. The building has also faced significant challenges with heat and hot water systems in early 2025, with several complaints citing inadequate service, though some were closed after conditions were verified as corrected.

The property has a documented history of maintenance violations, particularly in apartment 4E, which faced multiple issues in 2024 including pest infestations (mice and roaches), missing smoke detectors, and various repair needs. Building-wide concerns have included problems with plumbing, heating systems, and maintenance of common areas. The facade of the building received attention in 2025, with reports of hazardous deterioration requiring emergency work to address issues with spalling bricks, cracked lintels, and other structural concerns. While the building has had periodic pest issues, including several reports of rodent activity in 2024-2025, it has maintained a zero infestation count for bedbugs in recent annual filings since 2021.

Recent inspections have shown ongoing rodent activity, with baiting operations conducted in multiple months throughout 2024-2025. The building has also faced challenges with compliance requirements, including penalties for failing to file necessary inspection reports. Despite these ongoing issues, many complaints are being resolved through inspections and corrective actions, though some problems appear to be recurring based on multiple service requests and inspections. The current status of several building systems and conditions suggests ongoing maintenance challenges that require regular monitoring and attention.
