2265 Davidson Avenue is a 6-story, 49-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1926, currently owned by Mark Engel. The property has experienced recurring issues with moisture and sanitation problems, particularly mold, as evidenced by multiple 311 complaints and Housing Maintenance Code complaints in June 2025 alone, with at least one violation noted requiring correction. The building has a documented history of maintenance challenges, particularly affecting Unit 2C, which had several violations issued in late 2024 including pest infestations (roaches and mice), plumbing issues (bathtub/shower and drain), and various defects in fixtures and surfaces.

Notable recent complaints from May 2025 included issues with the building's intercom system, appliances, and plumbing, all resulting in violations. The property has also faced rodent control challenges, with consistent rat activity documented through rodent inspections from December 2023 through July 2025, though bait was applied in July 2024. Previous inspections have revealed various infrastructure issues requiring attention, including water leaks in multiple units (notably 2C and 4H) identified in late 2024.

The building's maintenance history shows some positive developments, with certain violations being certified as corrected in early 2025, including repairs to the bathtub and foyer floor in Unit 2C. The property has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements since 2021, with no reported infestations in the past three years. Historical records show the building was cited in 2019 for failure to submit an energy benchmarking report, though this violation was dismissed upon confirmation of submission. Regular permits for various repairs and maintenance work have been issued through the Department of Buildings, with multiple permits being issued in 2018-2019 for electrical and related work.
