A Bronx apartment building Mayor Mamdani showcased to highlight the talents of his new housing commissioner, Dina Levy, has racked up nearly 200 unresolved violations, The Post has learned.
The 102-unit building at 1520 Sedgwick Ave. in Morris Heights as of Saturday had a staggering 194 open housing-code violations dating back to 2016 — including 88 “Class C” violations considered “immediately hazardous.”
They included rat and roach infestation; broken doors and refrigerators; and mold, records show.
Mamdani visited the affordable-housing complex best known for being the birthplace of hip-hop on Jan. 4 to introduce Levy, 54, a longtime tenants’ rights advocate and former state housing honcho, as his new Housing Preservation and Development commissioner.
He gushed how Levy — who grew up the silver-spooned daughter of two high-powered DC lawyers – has non-profit experience in building and overseeing affordable housing, a perfect fit for his leftist housing agenda that seeks to replace private landlords wherever possible.
Tenants told The Post conditions were better under the old, private landlord.
“I have been here over 20 years, and I preferred it when it was under private management because they used to screen people in and out of the building,” said Mordistine Alexander, among the dozens of tenants at 1520 Sedgwick whose homes have open HPD violations.
Alexander, 49, who has rented her three-bedroom apartment since 1999, said the unit routinely lacks heat and hot water, its bathroom and kitchen facades are crumbling and windows need to be replaced

200 code violations in public housing is not a bug, it’s a feature!
Words fail me. I hate it when I forget the entire English language.
Well, apparently there ARE lots of bugs there.
The bugs are a feature too!
The powerful prey on the stupidity of the peasants, baited in and becoming emotionally incontinent.
“I have been here over 20 years, and I preferred it when it was under private management because they used to screen people in and out of the building,”
Who’d you vote for, hon, or did you not even bother?
See, bigot, only 45% of violations are immediately hazardous!
She said she’s been without a kitchen light for months — despite asking for fluorescent light bulbs to be replaced since October.
I currently rent in a condo-style building. I have never asked the landlord to replace a light bulb in my unit. I sweep and clean the front steps. Take some pride and initiative.

No, this is Somalis that are living there - this is good.
Cabrini Greens is all I have to say about Madmani’s housing program.
This metaphor should be used sparingly with the younger generations. Even though I read it in class in 5th grade, I recently discovered that my niece, a 5th grade teacher, had never heard of it. When I described the plot to her, she remarked, "it's probably on the banned list."
I was flabbergasted. It's certainly age appropriate for anyone over 9 years old, as opposed to Grapes of Wrath, which has PG-14 situations. We read Grapes of Wrath and the Count of Monte Cristo in 6th grade. That was 60 years ago, when California public schools were among the best in the nation. I, along with most if not all of my classmates, tested at 12th grade reading level back then.
bring it back for Napoleon Mandami
Hah!
Just wait-the New York Communist equivalent to “Hold muh beer!” when they try out their state-run grocery stores.
When you related that she said “Animal Farm” was probably banned, that did not even make me bat an eye.
Which is bad.
But you can rest assured that the non-banned books probably relate ways (including pictures) of how to have sexual relations with other kids.
