Augrented Insights Report for 1605 University Avenue

The 7-story, 30-unit building at 1605 University Avenue in Morris Heights, owned by Samantha Magistro and completed in 2005, has experienced recurring maintenance issues throughout its history, with the most significant recent concerns centered around pest infestations and water-related problems. Most notably, as of early 2025, there are ongoing violations affecting both 7C and 7D units involving water leaks, with 7D also showing problems with roach infestations and various other maintenance issues requiring attention.

The building's systems have shown periodic challenges with heat and hot water, evidenced by emergency complaints in 2023 and 2024, though inspections did not always reveal violations. The property has maintained relatively good rodent control as demonstrated by passing inspections from 2015 through 2025, though there was a notable rodent condition report in April 2021.

Infrastructure and maintenance compliance has been variable, with active DOB violations regarding external low pressure inspection filing as of April 2023, and previous ECB violations from 2018-2020 related to facade maintenance and reporting requirements. Historical repairs and violations have included issues with flooring, plumbing, paint, and various appliance malfunctions, though many of these were resolved following inspections. The building's bedbug reports from 2019-2024 consistently show zero infested units, suggesting effective pest management in this regard, despite the recent pest issues noted in the 311 complaints.
