1214 Sheridan Avenue, Bronx, NY 10456

1214 Sheridan Avenue is a 6-story, 33-unit New Law Tenement building located in Concourse Village, built in 1925 and currently owned by Ari Lowy. The property has experienced persistent heating and hot water issues throughout 2025, with numerous emergency complaints filed between March and May 2025, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. In addition to these recurring heating problems, the building faces significant maintenance challenges, including an active rat activity situation with multiple inspections between 2024 and 2025 showing rodent presence, and several violations related to exterior building facade maintenance.

The Department of Buildings has issued multiple active violations regarding the failure to file required inspections, including the External Low Pressure Inspection for 2018, 2019, 2020, and 2023. A cluster of problems was documented in November 2024 in apartment 3E, including defective self-closing doors, bathroom issues, and various repairs needed for tiles, fixtures, and surfaces, with some violations remaining open as of the latest inspection. The building's history includes several past violations related to facade maintenance, including damaged mortar joints, window sills, and fire escape obstructions, though many of these have been resolved.

There have been issues with timely responses to inspection requests from HPD, particularly in relation to sanitary conditions and flooring problems reported in March 2025. While there is no recent history of bedbug infestations reported in the annual filings from 2021-2025, the ongoing rodent activity suggests continued challenges with building maintenance and sanitation. The property has had various environmental control board violations, including failures to submit required reports and maintain the exterior facade, with some penalties still showing as active balances.
