116 Sherman Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10034
116 Sherman Avenue is a 5-story, 30-unit New Law tenement building constructed in 1916 and currently owned by Nikitas Drakotos. The building has experienced persistent maintenance issues over recent years, with the most recent complaints in 2025 involving heat/hot water problems and refrigerator issues, both of which were reportedly resolved upon inspection. A significant cluster of plumbing-related complaints emerged in late 2023, including violations for issues with toilets, bathtubs/showers, sinks, and wall conditions in apartment 12A, all of which resulted in Housing Maintenance Code violations.
The building has also faced recurring heat/hot water problems, with emergencies reported in both 2024 and 2025, and has shown patterns of rodent activity as evidenced by multiple inspections between 2022 and 2025. The property has undergone several regulatory inspections and faced multiple violations, including plumbing issues, unsanitary conditions, and construction compliance matters. Notable past violations include safety concerns in 2020 regarding construction work, though these were subsequently resolved.
The building's maintenance history shows a mix of resolved and recurring issues, with specific violations in 2023 focusing on bathroom fixtures and wall conditions in apartment 12A, along with various building-wide systems requiring attention. While the building has maintained consistent bedbug hygiene standards with no reported infestations since 2018, the recent pattern of heating and plumbing issues suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The property has had multiple permit issuances between 2019 and 2022, indicating regular maintenance and repair activity, though specific details of these works are not provided in the data.
