A report has claimed that the apartment complex used by New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani to highlight the work of his new Housing chief was found to have almost 200 violations. The report claimed that a nonprofit that used the apartment complex was responsible for the neglect and deteriorating conditions of the building.

According to documents obtained by the New York Post, the apartment complex at 1520 Sedgwick Avenue in Morris Heights has 194 open-housing code violations going as far back as 2016. A shocking 88 of the 194 violations are labelled 'Class C' violations, which are considered 'immediately hazardous.' These meant the building has rodent and roach infestations, broken doors and refrigerators, and mould.
