1407 Sheridan Avenue, Bronx, NY 10456

The six-story, 24-unit New Law Tenement building at 1407 Sheridan Avenue in Claremont Village, owned by Michael Goldberg, has experienced ongoing heating system challenges throughout 2024, with multiple building-wide heat and hot water complaints reported between March and December 2024, including emergency complaints in March, November, and December. Most recently, December 2024 violations were documented in Apartment 5D regarding inadequate hot water at fixtures, and an access issue to the building's heating system.

Prior to these heating issues, the building faced various maintenance challenges, including a December 2023 door/window complaint, plumbing concerns in August 2023, and electrical issues (outlet/switch) and unsanitary conditions (mold) in July 2023, all of which were resolved without violations. The building's violation history reveals several significant maintenance issues that were addressed between April and May 2024, particularly in Apartment C (1st floor), where multiple violations were documented, including rodent and pest infestations (mice and roaches), peeling paint, and inoperable smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.

An exterior issue was identified in April 2024 involving defective brick and mortar joints on the 6th story, which required repair. However, the building has consistently passed recent rodent inspections, with the most recent inspections in 2024 and 2025 showing no active rodent issues, although a December 2023 inspection noted "Rat Activity." The property has maintained a clean bedbug report record, showing zero infested units in all annual reporting periods since 2019.
