1757 Seward Avenue, Bronx, NY 10473
The 5-unit, 2-story building at 1757 Seward Avenue, constructed in 1920 and currently owned by 1757 Seward Property LLC, has experienced persistent heat and sanitary issues over the past two years. From April 2024 through April 2025, there have been multiple heat/hot water complaints, with some instances across the entire building requiring emergency HPD intervention. The building has also faced recurring pest problems, particularly evident in 2025 with three separate pest-related complaints in April 2025 alone, though HPD inspections were unable to gain access for verification.
The property has significant structural and safety concerns that require attention, including two active Department of Buildings violations from April 2025 noting issues with cracked sills, damaged cornices, and masonry problems, along with an ECB violation from 2023 regarding eroding coping on parapet walls. Previous violations show a history of maintenance challenges, particularly in apartment 1F, which had multiple violations in 2024 related to pests, mold, and water damage, though these were ultimately certified as corrected. Despite these issues, the building has consistently reported zero bedbug infestations in recent surveys from 2022 to 2025 and passed rodent inspections in 2022, though it had several failures in the years leading up to these inspections.
The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of deferred repairs and access issues during inspections, particularly regarding heating system problems and pest infestations. While some historical violations were resolved, such as safety concerns in 2024 regarding window guards, the more recent structural violations and continuing heating system issues suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. The property has experienced three instances of heat/hot water complaints in 2024-2025 alone, with both emergency and non-emergency classifications, indicating potential systematic issues with the building's heating infrastructure that require monitoring.
