Augrented Insights Report for 42 West Fordham Road

The 5-story New Law tenement at 42 West Fordham Road in University Heights, built in 1912 and currently owned by Javier Toriz, houses 19 units and has experienced several significant maintenance and habitability issues over recent years. While there have been multiple inspections and complaints regarding rodent activity, with the most recent inspections in 2025 consistently showing rat activity, the building has maintained zero documented bedbug infestations since 2021, as evidenced by regular Bedbug Reporting compliance showing no infested or re-infested units.

The building faced hot water issues in June 2021 that were classified as emergency conditions, affecting the entire building, and in 2019-2020, there were multiple violations related to unsanitary conditions, including pest infestations in apartments 24 and 43, which were certified as resolved. The property has undergone various maintenance and repair works, as indicated by multiple Environmental Control Board violations in 2020 related to exterior maintenance issues such as peeling plaster and loose stucco, resulting in fines that were subsequently resolved.

Building systems and habitability issues have been addressed through several permits issued for work in 2018-2021. The building's recent history shows a pattern of ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly regarding pest control and exterior maintenance, though many previous violations have been closed successfully. The most recent inspections indicate persistent rodent activity, suggesting ongoing challenges with building systems and maintenance.
