Augrented Insights Report for 1962 University Avenue

The 5-story, 11-unit building at 1962 University Avenue in Morris Heights, owned by Leopold Knopfler, has experienced persistent maintenance challenges, particularly regarding heat and water systems, as evidenced by nine emergency HPD complaints in January 2025 alone, all related to building-wide heat/hot water issues. The building also faces ongoing electrical concerns, with multiple reports of inadequate lighting in late 2024 and early 2025.

A critical open Housing Maintenance Code violation from December 2024 involves mold remediation requirements in Apartment 5S, along with several additional maintenance issues including window repairs and bathroom tile work. Historical records show this property has a pattern of regulatory scrutiny, with significant events including three illegal conversion violations (2019-2020), inspections revealing multiple issues requiring correction notices, and several Environmental Control Board violations related to occupancy standards and conversion compliance between 2020-2021.

The building's maintenance history reveals ongoing challenges with basic systems and infrastructure, including unresolved issues regarding proper heat provision and building access to heating systems. Recent pest control records indicate persistent rodent activity, with multiple bait applications throughout 2023-2024, though bedbug reports for the past two filing periods (2022-2023 and 2023-2024) show no infestations. The building currently has active violations related to external low-pressure inspections, suggesting potential concerns with building systems maintenance.
