1440 Sheridan Expressway, Bronx, NY 10459

The three-story, 2007-built property at 1440 Sheridan Expressway in East Morrisania, currently owned by Pankaj Shah, has experienced several notable incidents affecting resident quality of life and building compliance. Most recently, in 2024, there were reports of unsanitary conditions involving pests, which resulted in a Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) complaint filed in March 2024, though inspectors were unable to gain access to confirm the issues, leading to the complaint's closure in June 2024.

The building's history shows three Department of Buildings (DOB) violations: in 2021, there were citation cases related to an elevator issue resolved by Otis Elevator Company in October, and a violation for failure to display energy efficiency scores that was ultimately dismissed. A 2019 elevator-related violation regarding Category 1 inspection filing was also dismissed after a penalty was paid.

On a more positive note, the building has shown recent improvement in pest management, with the 2025 Bedbug report showing no infested dwelling units, eradicated units, or re-infested units between November 2023 and October 2024. The building's overall history suggests periodic maintenance and compliance issues, particularly regarding elevator maintenance and inspection requirements, though these appear to have been addressed when cited. The most significant recent concern relates to the unresolved pest complaint from 2024, which remains somewhat ambiguous due to the lack of inspection access, though the absence of bedbug reports since then may indicate the issue was not persistent.
