1297 Sheridan Avenue, Bronx, NY 10456

The 42-unit, 6-story building at 1297 Sheridan Avenue in Claremont Village, owned by David Schorr, has experienced ongoing maintenance challenges since 2024. As of June 2025, there are open complaints regarding unsanitary sewage conditions and heavy water leaks, continuing a concerning pattern of water-related issues that includes multiple previous incidents of heavy and slow leaks documented through 2025.

The building has also faced various violations and required repairs, particularly in late 2024, including issues with self-closing doors in hopper chutes and compactor closets on multiple floors, as well as concerns about fire retardant materials in the 5th-story public hall. Recent inspections and complaints indicate persistent rodent activity, with rat sightings reported in late 2024 and 2025, though these may show varying results across different compliance checks.

The building's maintenance history shows a mix of addressed and ongoing issues, including periodic problems with ceilings requiring paint/plaster work, and a December 2023 violation regarding energy efficiency score display requirements that remains active. Notably, there have been no documented bedbug infestations in the past several years, with all annual reports showing zero affected units. The property has experienced multiple emergencies requiring HPD intervention, particularly related to water issues, mold, and heating concerns, though some recent complaints indicate that these systems may be receiving more prompt attention from management.
