1172 Sherman Avenue, Bronx, NY 10456

The 4-story, 3-unit building at 1172 Sherman Avenue in Concourse Village, owned by Eunice Adegoroye, has experienced several notable maintenance issues since its construction in 1992. Most concerning are recurring problems with heat and hot water, with the latest complaint in January 2024 marking the second such incident in a little over a year.

The building has also faced multiple violations related to Unit 1, including mold issues (August 2023), hot water problems (January 2024), and several safety concerns such as missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, defective kitchen ventilation, and various maintenance issues documented in June 2022. Recent investigations have revealed structural concerns, particularly a potentially dangerous retaining wall at the rear of the property, for which the Department of Buildings issued an active violation in June 2025 requiring immediate engineering analysis and repairs.

The building's maintenance history shows some progress, with rodent inspections between 2020 and 2025 generally passing, though there was one instance of rat activity noted in August 2023. While there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the past three reporting periods (2023-2025), the building's inspection history suggests ongoing maintenance challenges requiring continued attention. Most violations have been addressed or closed, though an Environmental Control Board violation from October 2023 indicates issues with compliance to a DOB commissioner's order from March 2023.
