1254 Sherman Avenue, Bronx, NY 10456
1254 Sherman Avenue is a 6-story, 60-unit residential building constructed in 1927, currently owned by Fidel Herrera. The building has experienced recurring issues with its elevator system, with multiple complaints between 2022-2025 regarding "Single Device on Property/No Alternate Service," leading to several ECB violations and fines throughout 2022-2023. More recent concerns include multiple heat/hot water complaints in January 2025 (building-wide), and paint/plaster issues reported in early 2025.
An inspection of Apartment 9F in December 2024 revealed several violations, including roof leaks causing ceiling damage, mold issues, and problems with plastered surfaces. The building has also faced exterior maintenance challenges, with violations noted between 2020-2022 regarding stucco damage, cracked bricks, and facade maintenance. The property has shown some concerning patterns regarding resident comfort and building maintenance. Recent rodent inspections between 2024 and 2025 indicate persistent rat activity, though some inspections resulted in "Passed" compliance results.
The building has maintained a clean bedbug record for several years, with no reported infestations from 2018-2024. In 2025, there were multiple urgent service requests for mold and ceiling issues, though HPD was often unable to gain access for inspections. While some problems have been addressed through violations and repairs, including issues with self-closing fire doors and various building systems, the frequency of complaints and violations suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The most recent elevator complaints in 2025 resulted in an Oath Violation, highlighting the continuing importance of this issue in building operations.
