1632 University Avenue, Bronx, NY 10453

1632 University Avenue is a 5-story, 24-unit New Law tenement building constructed in 1915, currently owned by Jodyann Cluniswebb. The property has experienced significant recurring issues with heat and hot water systems in recent months, with multiple tenant complaints and emergency maintenance requests between June 7-24, 2025, regarding building-wide hot water problems. These issues have been provisionally resolved according to HPD, though the pattern of complaints suggests persistent infrastructure challenges.

The building has also faced pest control challenges, with open violations documented in 2024 for roach infestations in apartments 1D and 2C, though there have been no bedbug reports in the most recent reporting cycle (2024-2025). Historical records show a pattern of occupancy and maintenance violations, including a confirmed case of unauthorized occupancy in 5A in 2019, though most recent Department of Buildings inspections have shown compliance. The building's maintenance history reveals a mix of resolved and ongoing issues, including past problems with self-closing doors, heating systems, and security features, particularly affecting apartments 1B and 2C.

While recent inspections (2024-2025) have generally passed for rodent control, the building's pest management history suggests periodic challenges. The property currently has two active violations regarding failure to file energy benchmarking reports from 2024, though these are categorized as dismissed, and an active violation from 2021 regarding energy efficiency score display. The building's age and classification as a New Law tenement suggest it has undergone typical maintenance and compliance challenges, with recent patterns indicating particular concern around heating systems and periodic pest issues that may affect resident comfort and quality of life.
