1475 Sheridan Avenue, Bronx, NY 10457

The building at 1475 Sheridan Avenue, a 100-unit, 6-story New Law Tenement built in 1929 and currently owned by Steven Finkelstein, has experienced significant and recurring maintenance issues in recent months. Most notably, there have been multiple heat and hot water complaints throughout 2025, with three separate incidents reported and resolved between late May, including one in which the entire building was affected.

The property has ongoing plumbing concerns, with three immediate emergency plumbing water supply issues reported in June 2025, one of which remains open. Additional maintenance issues identified in 2025 include problems with flooring, lighting, water leaks, and mold, with several violations issued that have been documented in the Housing Maintenance Code. The building's elevator has been a persistent concern, with multiple complaints about the single device and lack of alternate service, including two active complaints from May 2025.

Inspection records show a pattern of self-closing door violations throughout the building, with multiple notices issued across various floors in December 2023, though most have since been resolved. The property has maintained a relatively clean bedbug record, with no reported infestations in the past four years, and has shown generally good compliance with rodent inspections, though recent inspections in 2025 indicated rat activity and compliance failures for other reasons. The building's historical maintenance record shows various issues over the years, including an open DOB violation from 2024 regarding the failure to file the FISP Cycle 9C Technical Report by the deadline.
