1982 University Avenue, Bronx, NY 10453
The 21-unit, 5-story New Law Tenement at 1982 University Avenue in Morris Heights, currently owned by Reclaim Hdfc, was constructed in 1915 and has experienced ongoing maintenance challenges over recent years. Most notably, in early 2025, there was a DOHMH investigation into chemical vapors/odors, resulting in an advisory to the property management. The building has documented multiple water-related issues, with simultaneous complaints in late 2023 regarding slow and damp leaks that remained under investigation until July 2024.
Previous significant issues include a building-wide heat/hot water complaint in March 2019, which could not be inspected due to access issues, and various rodent-related complaints in 2019, including multiple rat sightings in February of that year. The property has undergone several inspections and repairs, with particular attention needed in apartment 3D, where violations were noted in 2022 for defective plaster surfaces, uneven vinyl tile floors, and maintenance issues. Historical data shows periodic pest control challenges, with documented bedbug infestations in 2019 and 2018, though recent reports (2021-2024) indicate no current infestations.
The building's infrastructure has been the subject of multiple complaints and violations, including a 2024 ECB violation regarding a missing lot line fence/gate on the property perimeter. Rodent inspections show fluctuating results, with the most recent April 2025 inspection passing, following previous compliance concerns in late 2024 and September 2024 showing rat activity. The property has maintained regular bedbug reporting with consistent zero infestations reported in recent years, though historical data shows two instances in 2018-2019.
