Augrented Insights Report for 252 Sherman Avenue

252 Sherman Avenue is a five-story, 20-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1913, currently owned by Jacy Freja. The building has experienced recurring heating and hot water issues throughout 2025, with multiple complaints documented between April and May 2025, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. These heating system problems appear to be a significant ongoing concern.

In late 2024, building inspections revealed several maintenance issues in Apartment 22, including problems with smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, hot water supply, water leaks, and ceiling conditions. Additional violations included a locked boiler room access issue noted in November 2024. The building has also undergone several inspections and received multiple complaints regarding its gas systems, with inspections in 2024 documenting improper gas line installations and connections in Apartment 44.

While these violations were subsequently resolved, they indicate past safety concerns. Despite these issues, the building has maintained a clean record in recent bedbug inspections since 2019, showing no infestations. Rodent inspections from 2019 through 2025 have generally passed, with only one instance of rat activity noted in May 2019. Recent repairs and maintenance appear to have been addressed, as housing maintenance code violations from late 2024 have been marked as closed, though the recurrence of heat/hot water issues suggests ongoing system challenges.
