1700 University Avenue, Bronx, NY 10453
1700 University Avenue is a 5-story, 22-unit New Law tenement building constructed in 1911, currently owned by Martin Dunn, located in the Morris Heights neighborhood. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past few years, with multiple complaints and violations primarily relating to interior conditions. Between late 2023 and 2025, there have been numerous complaints regarding doors, cabinets, walls, and appliances, with violations issued for paint/plaster issues affecting both walls and cabinets.
Most recently, in April 2025, there was an emergency complaint regarding a window frame in Apartment 4B, and in May 2024, there were violations identified for a broken electrical outlet. Significant past issues included a documented roach infestation in Apartment 4B in December 2022, which generated multiple violations, though subsequent bedbug reports from 2019 to 2024 show no infestations. The building's infrastructure has been under scrutiny, with multiple 311 service requests related to heating and hot water systems in late 2023. Emergency door issues were reported and subsequently closed between 2024-2025.
Inspection records show rat activity in 2025, with bait applied in July 2025, though previous inspections from 2016-2024 indicated compliance. The property has maintained an active bedbug reporting history, with no reported infestations in the past three years. The Department of Buildings conducted inspections in 2024 regarding egress issues, though no violations were warranted. The building's recent housing violations, particularly in 2024-2025, suggest ongoing maintenance challenges that have required multiple inspections and follow-up actions by HPD and other agencies.
