1704 Seddon Street, Bronx, NY 10461

The 46-unit, 5-story New Law Tenement at 1704 Seddon Street in Westchester Square, built in 1926 and currently owned by Josh Koppel, has experienced recurring maintenance issues throughout 2025. Most notably, there have been multiple complaints and violations regarding mold, with the most recent having been reported as an emergency in June 2025, following earlier incidents in February 2025 (approximately 10 square feet) and persistent problems in Apartment 44 as documented in December 2023.

The building has also faced several challenges with building systems, including a heat/hot water issue affecting the entire building in April 2025, problems with the intercom system in multiple instances between April and June 2025, and various plumbing and water leak complaints. The property has an extensive history of violations requiring attention to basic living conditions. December 2023 inspections revealed multiple Class C violations in Apartment 44, including mold (25 square feet), water leaks, and pest infestations (roaches and mice), while November 2023 identified wallpaper issues in Apartment 39.

Compliance issues have also been documented regarding window guards and fire egress safety. Additional concerns about the building's maintenance include unsanitary conditions, with violations recorded for both wall and ceiling paint issues, and plumbing problems affecting sinks. While the building has passed recent rodent inspections in 2019 and 2022, earlier inspections in 2011 and 2013 showed failures for "Other Reasons." The property has maintained a clean bedbug record, with no infestations reported in the past six years.
