Augrented Insights Report for 204 Sherman Avenue

204 Sherman Avenue is a 57-unit, 6-story residential building in Inwood, constructed in 1929 and currently owned by Barry Rudofsky. The building has experienced ongoing maintenance and inspection issues, with the most recent concerns emerging in mid-2025 including multiple HPD complaints from May 2025 regarding windows, flooring, plumbing, and pest issues, most notably with the HPD unable to gain access for inspections. There have been consistent rodent issues, with the most recent inspection in July 2025 showing passed results, though previous inspections in 2024 had mixed results.

The building's violation history reveals significant patterns, including two open Class C violations from 2023 in apartment 5G regarding roach and mouse infestations, and multiple emergency housing maintenance complaints in 2025 involving windows, floors, and radiators. The property has also faced challenges with heat and hot water systems, with emergency complaints in January 2025 that could not be inspected due to access issues. Past violations show a concerning history of access issues during inspections, particularly between 2022-2024 when multiple attempts to inspect various complaints were denied or access was not granted.

The building's infrastructure raises several red flags, including an elevator violation in 2024 regarding emergency operation and maintenance issues, and multiple DOB complaints regarding unauthorized construction work in 2018. The property has shown some improvements in pest management, with no bedbug reports since 2022 and recent rodent inspections passing requirements, though complaints about pests and unsanitary conditions continue to be filed. The building's maintenance history illustrates a pattern of issues with basic building systems and infrastructure, suggesting ongoing challenges with building upkeep and resident access to proper maintenance services.
