1760 Seward Avenue, Bronx, NY 10473

1760 Seward Avenue is a 2-story, 3-unit residential building located in Clason Point and built in 1915, currently owned by Deodat Ragiu. The building has experienced several recurring maintenance issues, with the most significant concerns emerging between 2019 and 2020, including multiple complaints about heat and hot water problems, plumbing issues, and sanitary conditions such as pests and mold. In May 2020, a cluster of violations was documented, including problems with electrical outlets, plumbing fixtures (including basins/sinks and water supply), radiator maintenance, wall conditions, and unsanitary conditions.

These resulted in both emergency and non-emergency classifications, with some violations remaining open as of 2024. More recently, the building has faced ongoing regulatory compliance challenges, with open violations related to the filing of annual bedbug reports for the years 2021-2024. Previous violations from May 2020 included electrical issues with exposed wires and outlet covers, plumbing problems including a leaky kitchen sink, and safety concerns such as an inoperable carbon monoxide detector and self-closing door requirements.

While the building had heat and hot water complaints in late 2019 and December 2020, inspections were unable to gain access to verify the conditions in some instances. The Department of Buildings conducted tenant safety inspections in late 2021 and early 2022, both of which resulted in compliance verification. The building's history also includes a 2010 rodent inspection that passed. Despite numerous maintenance issues documented over the years, the property has shown some responsiveness to regulatory requirements, as evidenced by the resolution of several violations from 2020, though many others, particularly related to bedbug reporting, remain open as of 2024.
