Augrented Insights Report for 165 Sherman Avenue

The 6-story, 100-unit tenement building at 165 Sherman Avenue in Inwood, owned by Michael Utevsky, has experienced numerous maintenance and safety issues in recent years, particularly in 2025. Most concerning are recurring problems with heat and hot water during the winter months, with multiple complaints and violations throughout 2025.

The building has also faced ongoing pest management challenges, including unsanitary conditions related to garbage storage, mold, and rodent activity, though recent inspections in 2025 showed "Passed" results for rodent issues. There are significant outstanding mechanical and structural maintenance concerns, including active ECB violations regarding building walls, elevator service, and work performed without proper permits, with corresponding penalties totaling $12,500 still due. In 2024, the building was cited for lead paint hazards in multiple units (notably 6K and 3P), and various housing maintenance code violations remain open or were recently closed.

The elevator system has been a persistent source of complaints, with multiple violations related to service and safety devices between 2020 and 2025, though recent inspections have found no violations. The building has a documented history of bedbug infestations between 2020-2022 with 4 units affected, though subsequent years show "0" infestations reported. While some improvements have been made, as evidenced by recent permit issuances for exterior work, the building continues to face challenges with basic services and maintenance, as demonstrated by multiple missed access attempts for inspections and recurring violation patterns.
