2735 Sedgwick Avenue, Bronx, NY 10468

2735 Sedgwick Avenue is a 124-unit, 5-story residential building in Kingsbridge, constructed in 1922 and currently owned by Matthew Schmelzer. The property has faced recurring maintenance challenges in 2025, particularly regarding heating and pest control, with multiple service requests for heat/hot water issues in June 2025 and pest problems documented in May 2025. The building underwent inspections in late 2024 that revealed several violations in apartments 5B and 5D, including issues with roach infestations, roof leaks, window repairs, and appliance maintenance that required attention, though some violations were subsequently certified as corrected in early 2025.

The property has a documented history of rodent activity, with compliance inspections showing mixed results between 2022-2025, including both passed and failed inspections. The building's maintenance record shows a pattern of infrastructure and safety concerns, including heating system problems, appliance issues (with multiple reports regarding refrigerators and stoves), and general unsanitary conditions. A 2024 inspection noted excessive deterioration of the brick facade in the courtyard area, though this violation was subsequently resolved.

Notably, there have been no recorded bedbug infestations in recent inspections, as evidenced by multiple annual filings showing zero infested units. The property experienced security-related issues in 2022 with the building's entry gate system, though this violation was resolved. While some maintenance issues have been addressed promptly, the recurring nature of heating, pest, and general maintenance complaints suggests ongoing challenges with building upkeep.
