2712 Seymour Avenue, Bronx, NY 10469

2712 Seymour Avenue is a 3-unit, 2-story residential building constructed in 1940 in the Pelham Gardens neighborhood, currently owned by Hugh Lawrence. The property has experienced several maintenance issues over the past several years, with the most significant concerns centered around building systems and appliances. In 2019, there were emergency complaints regarding heat/hot water issues affecting the entire building and problems with cooking gas, though no violations were issued for the heating system, and housing inspectors were unable to gain access for the gas complaints.

Multiple complaints about electric/gas range appliances were submitted in late 2018, with inspection access also unavailable. The building has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements for the past three years (2021-2024), showing no infestations during this period, and most recently passed a rodent inspection in March 2023. The property has had several housing maintenance code violations, particularly in 2019, relating to safety notice requirements.

These included missing notices about heating system key access, gas leak procedures, carbon monoxide detector requirements, and housing information resources - all of which were subsequently certified as corrected by 2019-2022. Earlier violations from 2011 were documented regarding broken kitchen shelves and oven door issues in apartment 2FT, though these were also properly addressed. An April 2024 inspection resulted in a violation for not filing the annual bedbug report, though this notice appears inconsistent with the previous three consecutive years of compliance. The building's documented history shows recurring issues with access for inspections, particularly regarding appliance and gas-related complaints, though most safety-related violations have been addressed and closed.
