Augrented Insights Report for 3871 Sedgwick Avenue

The 6-story, 70-unit building at 3871 Sedgwick Avenue, owned by Joshua Balsam, has experienced ongoing maintenance challenges since 2020, with several significant issues emerging in recent years. The building, constructed in 1926 and classified as a New Law Tenement, has documented recurring problems with rodent activity, as evidenced by multiple rat inspections between December 2022 and May 2025 showing regular rat activity and bait application. The property has also faced multiple housing maintenance code violations, most notably a current Class C violation for roach infestation in apartment 2C (as of December 2024) and various maintenance issues in apartment 3B that were documented and certified in late 2024, including problems with plastered surfaces, electrical fixtures, and cabinet conditions.

Recent complaints between 2023-2025 reveal persistent building system challenges. There were multiple elevator-related complaints between 2023-2025, though inspections generally found no violations at the time. The building has also experienced problems with heat and hot water systems in 2025, along with multiple window and electrical issues requiring HPD inspections and resulting in violations.

The property has undergone regular rodent control measures, with multiple bait application records in 2025. The building's exterior maintenance has generated concerns, particularly regarding the facade and parapet wall conditions noted in violations from 2019-2024, and there is currently an active ECB violation regarding the failure to file the required FISP Cycle 9C technical report by February 2024. While the building has shown some improvement in bedbug management, with no reported infestations in recent years, the recurring issues with pests, building systems, and maintenance violations suggest ongoing challenges with property upkeep and resident comfort.
