2268 Seward Avenue, Bronx, NY 10473

2268 Seward Avenue is a 3-unit, 3-story residential building built in 2011 and owned by Frank Carpi, located in the Castle Hill neighborhood. The property has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water systems, with the most recent emergency complaint recorded in January 2025, following multiple similar complaints between 2022 and 2023. In mid-2023, the building faced significant maintenance challenges, including mold issues in both the second-floor apartment (notably in the bathroom) and the cellar, though some related violations have since been closed.

The Department of Health and Mental Hygiene conducted a rodent inspection in July 2023, which passed, following a rodent-related complaint that month. Additional maintenance concerns were documented in 2023, including defective self-closing doors, plaster damage, and unsanitary conditions, particularly affecting the second-floor apartment and cellar. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of heat/hot water issues, as evidenced by multiple emergency complaints, and periodic problems with mold and unsanitary conditions.

A significant set of violations regarding mold, water damage, and door issues was documented in a July 2023 inspection, with some violations being classified as Class A and B. However, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in the past five years (2020-2025). While some complaints were resolved with no violations found, the persistent nature of heat/hot water issues and the 2023 mold concerns suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. The most recent bedbug report from June 2025 confirms no infestations were present during the previous period (2023-2024).
