1188 Sheridan Avenue, Bronx, NY 10456

1188 Sheridan Avenue, a 6-story, 52-unit building constructed in 1941 and managed by owner Johjn Milevo, has faced persistent maintenance challenges in recent years. The property has been experiencing recurring heat and hot water problems throughout 2025, with multiple building-wide and apartment-specific complaints filed in January, February, March, and a significant building-wide issue reported in late March 2025 that remains concerning.

The building's infrastructure shows notable deterioration, with two active Department of Buildings (DOB) violations from 2024 related to exterior facade maintenance, including cracked masonry and bulging elements, resulting in $3,750 in penalties. These violations, filed in April and August 2024, indicate serious structural concerns that require attention. The building has a documented history of various maintenance issues, including plumbing problems (with multiple violations in early 2025), electrical concerns (notably a lighting issue in February 2025), and interior maintenance needs.

A comprehensive inspection of Apartment 1B in December 2024 revealed multiple violations requiring repairs, including issues with doors, lighting fixtures, floor tiles, and bathroom elements. While there have been some improvements, such as the building passing recent rodent inspections in 2025 and having no bedbug infestations reported in the past four years, the persistent nature of the heat and water problems, along with active facade violations, suggests ongoing challenges with building maintenance and infrastructure. The elevator system, which has experienced multiple outages in the past, appears to be a recurring concern with violations dating back to 2020-2021.
