Augrented Insights Report for 172 Sherman Avenue

The 41-unit, 5-story building at 172 Sherman Avenue in Inwood, owned by Alex Kohen, has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, between March and June 2025, there were multiple plumbing complaints regarding bathtubs/showers and sinks, though HPD inspectors were unable to gain access to verify these issues during their inspections.

As of now, open complaints remain regarding a refrigerator and electric/gas range from March 2025. The building has a history of infrastructure challenges, with violations from November 2024 citing defective self-closing doors at both the roof bulkhead and the first-story vestibule, as well as previous unit-specific problems in Apartment 52 including plumbing, plaster, and cabinet issues that were certified as corrected by December 2024.

The property has documented pest control efforts, with three instances of bedbug infestations reported between 2018 and 2022, though the most recent 2023-2024 report shows no current infestations. Recent rodent inspections have shown consistent rat activity, with findings in June 2025, March 2025, October 2024, and August 2024, despite previous compliance passes in 2023 and 2022 suggesting ongoing pest management challenges. The building, constructed in 1915, has maintained its original New Law Tenement classification, and while some maintenance issues have been addressed, the frequency of recent complaints and ongoing violations raises concerns about building maintenance practices.
