Augrented Insights Report for 1800 University Avenue

The 5-story, 58-unit building at 1800 University Avenue (Morris Heights), owned by Jay Newhouse, has faced several significant maintenance challenges since 2022. The most pressing current issue involves multiple unsanitary conditions related to pests, with three identical complaints filed in July 2024 that HPD could not access for inspection. The building has experienced recurring heating and hot water problems, with complaints documented in 2024 (February), 2022 (May and June), and various plumbing issues including water leaks and supply problems between 2022-2024.

A concerning pattern of maintenance issues is evident, with multiple complaints about building-wide heat and hot water failures, including a notable incident in February 2024 that affected multiple apartments. Recent inspections have revealed several active violations, specifically regarding building security and access issues, including problems with the vestibule door latches and self-closing mechanisms. While the building has maintained its bedbug reporting compliance with no reported infestations since 2020, it experienced two significant bedbug incidents in 2017-2018.

The property also had documented rodent activity in 2016-2017, though recent inspections in 2023, 2024, and 2025 have passed. Additionally, there are ongoing construction-related concerns, including two active ECB violations from October 2024 related to the sidewalk shed obstructing traffic lights, with associated penalties. The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with basic services and building systems, though recent rodent inspections indicate improved conditions in that regard.
