1296 Sheridan Avenue, Bronx, NY 10456
1296 Sheridan Avenue is a 6-story, 59-unit residential building located in Claremont Village, built in 1925 and currently owned by Mark Engel. The building has experienced numerous maintenance and safety issues over the past several years, with particularly concerning patterns emerging in 2024-2025. Recent complaints (May 2025) have documented unresolved issues with mold, ceiling damage, and window frame problems, all of which HPD attempted but was unable to inspect during their visits. February 2025 brought multiple heating system complaints, with one verified instance of inadequate heat affecting an entire apartment building.
The building has also faced recurring water supply issues, evidenced by multiple emergency plumbing complaints in June 2025. Significant structural and safety concerns have been documented, including an active ECB violation from February 2024 regarding failure to comply with a 2020 Commissioner's Order, with a penalty of $6,250. Building violations dating back to 2021 indicate serious structural issues, particularly with the rear retaining wall, which was flagged as having significant cracks. The building's maintenance history shows persistent pest control challenges, with multiple complaints about roaches and mice in various apartments, particularly in Unit 4I (2019).
While recent bedbug reports (2022-2024) show zero infested units, rodent activity remains a concern, with multiple inspections in 2024-2025 consistently showing rat activity. The property has a troubling history of non-compliance with regulatory requirements, including failure to file mandatory safety reports (FISP Cycle 9B Technical Report) and failure to correct immediately hazardous violations. Multiple inspection attempts by HPD have been unable to gain access to units, necessitating repeated service requests from tenants. The building's maintenance pattern suggests ongoing challenges with maintaining basic services, as shown by multiple HMC violations related to heating, hot water, and unsanitary conditions. While some violations have been resolved, including various plumbing and maintenance issues, the presence of active violations and recurring complaint patterns indicate ongoing maintenance challenges that require monitoring.
