Augrented Insights Report for 1733 University Avenue

1733 University Avenue is a 21-unit, 5-story residential building constructed in 1915, currently owned by Matthew Schmelzer. The building has experienced recurring issues with water-related problems, most notably a pattern of water leaks in 2024, including both heavy flow and slow leaks, as well as a water supply complaint in October 2024 that went uninspected due to access issues. The property has also faced heating system challenges, with multiple heat/hot water complaints in November 2023, though HPD inspectors were unable to gain access to verify the complaints.

In early 2024, Apartment 52 reported both rodent and roach infestations, while similar pest issues were identified in previously-occupied apartments (31 and 44), along with various maintenance violations including defective plaster and plumbing fixtures. The building's maintenance history shows a mix of resolved and recurring issues. Inspection records from the Department of Buildings and HPD indicate multiple plumbing-related complaints between 2021 and 2024, though most inspections did not result in violations.

More recently, the property has passed rodent inspections conducted in 2023, 2024, and 2025, suggesting improved pest management. The building's permit history shows active maintenance, with permits issued in 2020 and 2021 for unspecified work. Notably, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations since 2019, with no reported cases in the past six years.
