Augrented Insights Report for 1055 University Avenue

The 6-story, 94-unit building at 1055 University Avenue, built in 1927 and currently owned by David Abrazom, has experienced significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most notably, there have been recurring heating and hot water problems, with emergency complaints about these systems in both 2024 and 2025 affecting the entire building. The building has also faced multiple safety concerns, including a recent window guard violation in April 2025, for which HPD issued violations requiring correction.

A series of inspections and complaints between 2024 and 2025 revealed various maintenance issues, including problems with doors, electrical outlets, plumbing fixtures, and unsanitary conditions involving sewage and pests. The property is currently facing active ECB violations related to water leaks in the boiler room and failure to maintain building systems, with penalties totaling $3,750. The building has documented several serious infrastructure problems through Department of Buildings inspections, particularly regarding elevator systems and electrical safety.

Reports from 2022-2023 indicated issues with improper cable terminations, exposed wiring, and maintenance of electrical systems. More recently, between 2024-2025, the building has undergone multiple rodent control interventions, with inspections showing consistent rat activity and the application of bait in response to infestations. The property also has multiple active violations regarding energy efficiency score display requirements and historical failure to certify correction of immediate hazards. While there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the past five years, these persistent maintenance issues suggest ongoing challenges with property upkeep and resident safety.
