177 Sheridan Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11208

177 Sheridan Avenue is a three-unit, three-story residential building located in Cypress Hills, Brooklyn, constructed in 1901 and classified as a New Law Tenement. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues, most notably in late 2022 when multiple complaints were filed with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) regarding unsanitary conditions, including reports of pests, sewage problems, mold, and multiple plumbing issues related to toilets.

A concerning safety issue was also reported regarding carbon monoxide detector compliance during this period. Despite the urgency of many of these complaints being classified as emergency situations, inspection access was denied, leading to the closure of these complaints in December 2022. More recently, the building has faced ongoing regulatory compliance issues, with three open violations related to annual bedbug report filings as of 2023 and 2024 inspections, representing Class A violations under the Housing Maintenance Code.

An illegal conversion complaint was filed in late 2022, though inspection access was again denied in early 2023. While historical records show the building passed a rodent inspection in 2012, the bedbug report from 2021-2020 indicated no reported infestations during that period, showing some compliance with pest management requirements at that time. The consistent pattern of access denial during inspections and the frequency of unsanitary condition complaints suggests ongoing challenges with building maintenance and regulatory compliance, though the most recent bedbug reporting shows no active infestations.
