181 Sheridan Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11208
The three-story, three-unit tenement at 181 Sheridan Avenue in Cypress Hills, owned by Ravindra Ramlall, has a significant record of maintenance issues spanning multiple years, with particular concerns regarding pest control and building safety. Most notably, from 2020 through 2024, the building has maintained four open Class A violations related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports, which is a mandatory requirement under the Housing Maintenance Code.
A comprehensive inspection on December 18, 2020, revealed multiple concerning safety issues that remain unresolved, including a leaking roof affecting the third-story public hall, unsafe electrical wiring conditions with exposed wires at a ceiling junction box, and various encumbrances blocking stairways and emergency access points. Security concerns were also documented in this inspection, particularly regarding a defective building entrance door locking device.
The building's more recent history shows some persistence of pest issues, with multiple 311 complaints in December 2020 regarding unsanitary conditions related to pests, though these complaints were closed without any violations being issued. An earlier rodent inspection from April 2012 had passed, suggesting this may have been a historically isolated issue rather than a persistent problem. The property, constructed in 1901 as a New Law tenement, has numerous open violations as of the latest records from 2024, indicating ongoing maintenance challenges that have not been fully addressed over multiple years.
