Augrented Insights Report for 1611 University Avenue

1611 University Avenue, a 5-story New Law tenement building located in Morris Heights and owned by Samantha Magistro, has experienced recurring issues with its heating and hot water systems throughout 2023-2025. The most recent incidents occurred in May 2025, when multiple complaints were filed regarding inadequate heat and hot water, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. The building has also been cited for persistent maintenance issues, with open violations as of October 2023 related to lead paint hazards in apartment 2C, including peeling paint on the ceiling and east wall.

Additional significant violations include a reported mold condition in apartment 2C, hot water temperature issues, and access problems to the boiler room. The building's history shows several infrastructure concerns, including complaints about the intercom system (January 2025), various heating system problems (January 2025), and multiple heating-related violations during 2023-2025. While the property has passed multiple rodent inspections between 2015-2025, indicating general pest management compliance, there was a recent pest-related complaint filed in June 2025.

The building's elevator service appears to have been stable, with no violations found in inspections or complaints since 2024. Compliance with annual bedbug reporting shows no identified infestations from 2019-2025. Two historical violations from 2019 and 2022 regarding energy benchmarking and Category 5 inspection requirements were dismissed after proper documentation was provided. Recent inspections in 2023-2024 noted various repairs needed in common areas, including ceiling repairs in the 5th-story public hall and bathroom conditions in unit 2C.
