1058 University Avenue, Bronx, NY 10452

The 26-unit, 7-story residential building at 1058 University Avenue in Highbridge, owned by Aaron Stark, has experienced several significant maintenance issues since its construction was completed in 2022. Most recently, in April 2025, there were multiple complaints and violations related to power outages, cooking gas issues, and inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) that showed no violations of housing laws.

The building faced persistent heat and hot water issues in January 2025, with multiple complaints indicating problems affecting both individual apartments and the entire building, though these conditions were reported as corrected during HPD's inspections. Earlier in 2025, there were also violations related to wall conditions and pest problems, with HPD issuing violations that required correction. Prior to these recent issues, the building had several construction-related complaints in 2022, including concerns about work being done without proper permits and construction safety compliance.

During the construction phase, multiple violations were issued in October 2022 requiring work stoppage and site safety measures, though these were subsequently dismissed. The building's documentation shows all Department of Buildings (DOB) violations from 2019-2022 have been resolved, and the most recent bedbug report from December 2024 indicates zero infestation cases during the 2023-2024 reporting period. While the property has experienced various maintenance challenges, most recent inspections have not identified violations of housing laws, suggesting some improvement in compliance, though issues with basic services like heat, water, and electricity appear to be recurring concerns.
