Augrented Insights Report for 40 University Place

The 13-story, 74-unit residential building at 40 University Place, constructed in 1926 and currently owned by Keith Simon, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety concerns over the past two years. Most notably, there are active violations as of March 2025 regarding fire escape conditions, with reports of deteriorated/defective stairs and loose hanging treads presenting potential hazards.

The building has also recently faced issues with rodent activity, with inspections in June, September, November, and December 2024 showing varying results including bait application and rat activity. Multiple Department of Health and Mental Hygiene complaints between 2023 and 2025 suggest ongoing concerns with food establishment conditions, including reported problems with rodents/insects and pet/animal issues. The building underwent facade restoration work in 2020 which resulted in several Environmental Control Board violations related to scaffold safety and fire safety requirements, though most of these were subsequently resolved.

A bedbug infestation report from 2023-2024 showed no affected units during the most recent reporting period, and historical inspection records show consistent rodent control efforts with periodic inspections showing both compliance and violations. The property has had multiple housing maintenance code complaints since 2019, including issues with mold, electrical systems, flooring, ventilation, and plumbing, though these were generally marked as resolved within reasonable timeframes. While there have been several permit issuances for work at the property between 2018 and 2021, recent concerns about fire escape safety and rodent activity suggest ongoing maintenance challenges as of mid-2025.
