1358 Sheridan Avenue, Bronx, NY 10456

At 1358 Sheridan Avenue, a 30-unit building constructed in 1915 and currently owned by Angela Rodriguez, recent maintenance issues have emerged as notable concerns. Most pressing is an open roofing issue reported in May 2025, which has been classified as an emergency. The building has experienced several maintenance challenges in 2025, including a heavy water leak (April), multiple uninspected complaints regarding cabinets, pests, and appliance issues (all March), and concerns related to electrical systems including wiring and a power outage (February).

In 2024, significant violations were documented in Apartment 1B, including problems with floors, bathroom conditions, water leaks, mold, and a mouse infestation, though these were all subsequently certified as corrected by October 2024. The building's exterior has come under scrutiny, with active violations noted in late 2023 regarding facade maintenance, specifically spalling stucco and cracked bricks on the east and south exposures, resulting in penalties of $2,500 and $1,250 respectively. Other ongoing compliance issues include a Cycle 9B Unsafe Report filed in February 2024, and the building's failure to file its FISP Cycle 9B Technical Report by the February 2023 deadline.

However, under more positive news, the building has consistently passed rodent inspections over the past five years (2019-2025), and there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the past six years (2019-2024), with the most recent filings showing zero infested units. The property has a history of accessibility issues for inspectors, with several HPD complaints in early 2025 being closed due to inability to access the reported problem areas. Additionally, multiple emergency situations were documented and resolved in February 2025, including electrical wiring issues, a power outage, and heat/hot water problems. While the building has maintained a record of passing rodent inspections and has had no bedbug issues, the recent cluster of maintenance complaints and violations suggests ongoing challenges with property upkeep and responsive maintenance protocols, particularly regarding building access for inspections and timely repairs.
