Augrented Insights
AI summary · updated June 2026

1188 Sherman Avenue is a 4-story, 3-unit residential building constructed in 1992, currently owned by Deogratius Mhella. The property has experienced several maintenance challenges, particularly in 2022, when multiple complaints were filed regarding safety issues with window guards, water leaks, wall conditions, and intercom systems - all of which were eventually closed without violations, except for one window guard complaint in April 2022 that resulted in violations being issued. Additional maintenance concerns emerged in April 2022, with the 4th-floor apartment facing issues including pest infestation (roaches), broken plaster, bathroom ceiling problems, and plumbing concerns, though these violations were subsequently closed.

Most recently, in 2025, a significant structural concern was identified regarding a compromised retaining wall at the rear of the property, with the Department of Buildings requiring immediate attention from a licensed professional engineer and construction work to commence by July 2025. The building's recent history shows improved conditions regarding bedbugs, with the most recent reports from 2024-2025 showing no infested units. The property has maintained compliance with rodent inspections, passing all recent inspections in 2023 and 2024, except for an initial failure in August 2022 (the only such instance in the past five years). Two "Failure to Maintain" complaints were recorded - one in 2023 and another in 2025 - though specific details were not provided in the summary. The building's record shows regular monitoring by housing authorities, with most violations being addressed and closed promptly, though the retaining wall issue represents an ongoing structural concern as of mid-2025.
