1162 Sherman Avenue, Bronx, NY 10456

The 4-story, 3-unit residential building at 1162 Sherman Avenue in Concourse Village, owned by Daniel Salas and constructed in 1992, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most notably, there is an active violation as of May 2025 regarding a structurally compromised retaining wall at the rear of the property, which the Department of Buildings has determined poses a danger to the building and adjacent properties, requiring immediate attention and the engagement of a licensed professional engineer.

The property has also faced persistent rodent issues, with multiple inspections showing rat activity between 2023 and 2024, though an initial inspection in February 2025 passed. The building has a history of various maintenance violations that have impacted resident safety and comfort. In early 2023, multiple violations were issued by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) including concerns with plumbing (toilet and sink), flooring, an electric/gas range, and a broken/missing window guard - particularly affecting Apartment 1 on the first story.

The building has also undergone several rodent inspections in recent years, with varying results including both passed and failed inspections. Furthermore, the property is currently marked with an active Environmental Control Board violation from October 2023, indicating failure to comply with a DOB Commissioner's order, with an associated penalty of $2,530. While the building's bedbug reporting for the 2021-2022 period showed no infested or re-infested units, this should be monitored as part of ongoing maintenance considerations.
