Augrented Insights Report for 1439 University Avenue

1439 University Avenue is a 5-story, 17-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1915, currently owned by Martin Rivera. The property has experienced recurring heating and hot water system issues, particularly during the winter months, with multiple emergency complaints filed in 2024 and early 2025 regarding both building-wide and apartment-specific problems.

These include six distinct heat/hot water complaints between January and December 2024, and one in January 2025. The building also faced water leak issues in 2025 and a gas range appliance complaint in 2024, though inspections did not result in violations for most of these cases. Recent inspections have revealed several safety concerns in Apartment 3D, including defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors (October 2024), while violations from earlier in 2024 highlighted inadequate heat and hot water supply issues in Apartments 3A and 4C.

The property has maintained a record of zero bedbug infestations over the past seven reporting periods (2019-2025), and while recent rodent inspections in 2025 showed bait application, previous inspections from 2019-2023 generally passed. The building underwent compliance inspections for Local Law 188/17 in 2025, showing no violations at the time, though a sidewalk shed related violation was served in March 2023 due to expired permits. The property's environmental control board violation from 2023 regarding an expired sidewalk shed permit was resolved with no penalties imposed.
