1754 Seward Avenue, Bronx, NY 10473

The 4-unit, 2-story building at 1754 Seward Avenue in Clason Point, owned by Arrie Debose, has experienced several notable incidents in recent years. In August 2022, there was a cluster of maintenance issues requiring attention to various building components, including electrical outlets/switches, plumbing fixtures (bathtub/shower), flooring, and window frames. Additionally, a water leak incident involving heavy flow occurred during the same month.

All of these complaints were investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) and subsequently closed, with verification that the reported conditions were corrected. The building has also faced recurring administrative compliance issues related to bedbug reporting. While the building had annual violations recorded between 2021 and 2024 for failing to file the required bedbug reports under Housing Maintenance Code § HMC, the most recent report filed in November 2023 indicated no infested dwelling units during the 2021-2022 reporting period, which was consistent with previous reports from 2019-2020.

The only rodent inspection on record, from October 2010, passed without any noted concerns. Despite the historical pattern of bedbug reporting violations, the documentation shows that the building has maintained an infestation-free status during the last two reporting periods. The most recent violation from April 2024 remains open, relating to the annual bedbug report filing requirement, though previous violations from 2023, 2022, and 2021 were closed without penalty.
