1291 Sheridan Avenue, Bronx, NY 10456

1291 Sheridan Avenue is a 6-story, 41-unit residential building constructed in 1925, currently owned by Robert Ruiz. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past two years, with particular concerns regarding flooring, stairs, and ventilation systems. Most notably, in spring 2025, multiple complaints were filed and subsequently inspected by HPD, resulting in violations that require the owner to make necessary corrections.

The building has also faced various challenges including pest infestations (documented in September 2024 in apartment 6C), interior maintenance issues (such as paint and plaster problems), and plumbing concerns, though some plumbing complaints were resolved without violations in 2024. The building's elevator system appeared to be problematic in 2018, with multiple complaints regarding "Single Device on Property/No Alternate Service" leading to Oath Violations. More recently, there was a significant complaint about a loose metal handrail on the north wall at public hall stairs from the first story, which received violations in October 2024.

The property has generally maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, showing no infestations or re-infestations in the past seven reporting periods from 2018 to 2025. While rodent inspections show mostly passing results, there was one failure in December 2024. The building's recent history shows active engagement with housing maintenance codes, with multiple violations cited and subsequently closed, though a notable open violation remains regarding self-closing doors in apartment 6C as of October 2024.
