946 Sherman Avenue, Bronx, NY 10456

946 Sherman Avenue is a 5-story, 20-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1921 and currently owned by Sherman Ave Estates LLC. The property has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water throughout late 2024 and early 2025, with six emergency complaints filed between November 2024 and January 2025, three of which resulted in confirmed violations.

The building underwent inspections in December 2024 that issued a violation for inadequate water management in the third-story public hall, while other inspections confirmed significant issues in apartment 3A, including multiple pest infestations (both roaches and mice), inoperable smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and defective self-closing doors, with some violations still marked as open. Prior to these issues, the building had been maintaining its rodent-free status, passing inspections from 2019 through 2025. The property has generally shown compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with no reported infestations in the past four years (2019-2024), though there was one documented case in 2020 that was marked as eradicated.

Historical maintenance records from 2023 show some repairs needed in apartment 1C, including plaster and paint work in bathroom and hallway areas. It's worth noting that the building has maintained a consistent record of passing rodent inspections, with the most recent inspection in April 2025 also confirming compliance. The persistent heat and hot water issues documented in recent months represent the most pressing ongoing maintenance challenge for the property as of 2025.
