Augrented Insights Report for 232 Sherman Avenue

The 39-unit, 5-story New Law tenement building at 232 Sherman Avenue in Inwood, owned by Barry Rudofsky and constructed in 1915, has experienced numerous maintenance and compliance issues over the past two years (2023-2025). Most concerning are recurring problems with heat and hot water, with multiple emergency complaints filed in 2025 and violations issued in April 2025. The building has also faced significant plumbing issues, including bathtub/shower problems, radiator concerns, and reports of unsanitary conditions including pests.

Recent inspections in 2024-2025 revealed active rat activity, with limited success in eradication efforts during previous years. Apartment 29 has been identified as having multiple violations, including lead paint hazards, water leaks, and window guard issues, though some violations were certified as corrected by March 2025. The property has a concerning pattern of maintenance and compliance issues, including three active Environmental Control Board violations from July 2023 related to building safety, unauthorized work, and occupancy concerns.

There have been multiple complaints about work being done without proper permits, particularly in 2023-2024, with partial stop work orders issued. Building systems have shown persistent problems, including the most recent emergency complaints for electrical issues (June 2025), building-wide heat/hot water problems, and unsanitary conditions. While the building has maintained a relatively low incidence of bedbug infestations in recent years, with no reports since 2024, the ongoing rodent inspections show persistent challenges with pest control. The property has also faced various safety concerns, including a building shaking/vibrating complaint in February 2025 that resulted in an Oath violation.
