2827 Sedgwick Avenue, Bronx, NY 10468

The three-story, 3-unit building at 2827 Sedgwick Avenue in Kingsbridge, owned by Jesus Grullard, was constructed in 2006 and has experienced significant maintenance and compliance issues over the past several years. Most notably, the property has unresolved Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2022 requiring annual bedbug report filings, and active Environmental Control Board violations from 2021 totaling $31,250 in penalties related to failure to comply with commissioner's orders and occupation without valid certificates of occupancy.

The building has a documented history of maintenance issues, with multiple 311 service requests in April 2022 regarding unsanitary conditions, mold, pests, and various plumbing and appliance problems, though inspectors were unable to gain access to verify these complaints. While rodent inspections have generally passed in recent years (2021-2025), there were notable rodent-related incidents in 2018-2019, including rat activity and mouse sightings. The property has a concerning pattern of violations regarding unauthorized occupancy and work without permits, with multiple active violations dating back to 2019.

Recent communications indicate that there are still unresolved issues regarding the building's certificate of occupancy status, with multiple "failure to certify correction" violations still listed as active. A new permit application for construction work was filed in December 2023 and is currently in process, suggesting that the owner is attempting to address some of the outstanding compliance issues. The building's history shows a mixture of resolved and ongoing maintenance and compliance challenges, with particular concern over the pattern of persistent violations and difficulty in obtaining inspection access for housing maintenance complaints.
