1 Sherman Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10040
1 Sherman Avenue is a 5-story, 56-unit New Law tenement building constructed in 1923 located in Inwood and currently owned by Mark Neiman. The building has experienced recurring issues with heating and hot water systems, evidenced by multiple tenant complaints in early 2025, though inspections confirmed restoration of services in most cases. A significant pattern of pest-related complaints has emerged, particularly between March and June 2025, with several HPD violations issued.
The property has documented safety concerns, including emergency housing maintenance code complaints in late 2024 through mid-2025 regarding smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, flooring issues, and water damage. The building has active violations related to external low-pressure inspections that have not been filed since 2018, as well as past violations for various safety and maintenance issues affecting both individual apartments and common areas. Apartment 4C has documented violations from late 2024 concerning lead paint, water leaks, and pest infestation, while other units have experienced various maintenance issues.
Recent rodent inspections from 2024 through mid-2025 show consistent rat activity, with multiple baiting efforts conducted. The building's bedbug inspection records from 2020 through 2024 show no reported infestations, and there have been no documented bedbug cases in the past five reporting periods. The property owner has taken some remedial actions, as evidenced by the closure of several violations, though many remain active or were recently issued. The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with basic services and safety infrastructure, particularly regarding heating systems, pest control, and safety equipment compliance.
