Augrented Insights Report for 1669 University Avenue

1669 University Avenue is a 5-story, 80-unit residential building constructed in 1924, currently owned by Samantha Magistro. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent months, particularly in 2025, with multiple complaints regarding heat and hot water systems in April, affecting the entire building and individual apartments. Additional concerns during this period included plumbing issues (bathtubs/showers), paint/plaster problems, and a smoking violation in a smoke-free area.

The building's condition has been under scrutiny since late 2024, with active Housing Maintenance Code violations in apartment 5H related to flooring problems (including sloping wood subfloor and bulging vinyl planks), bathroom issues, and a pest infestation that required attention. Earlier records reveal persistent elevator inspection compliance issues, with violations for failing to properly file external low pressure inspections in 2023 remaining active. The building's maintenance history shows a mix of resolved and ongoing concerns, with a pattern of flooring and bathroom maintenance needs.

Recent rodent inspections in 2025 and 2024 showed compliance, though there was a failure noted in October 2024. The property has demonstrated a consistent absence of bedbug issues over multiple reporting periods from 2019 through 2025. Notably, violations related to exterior wall inspections (FISP) from 2018 and 2021 were resolved without penalties, and while there have been various Department of Buildings violations issued between 2018 and 2023, most were either dismissed or resolved. The building's current bedbug report for 2024-2025 shows no infested units, and recent rodent inspection results have generally been passing.
