2294 University Avenue, Bronx, NY 10468

The 5-story, 27-unit building at 2294 University Avenue in University Heights, owned by Richard Timberger, has experienced a significant number of maintenance issues in recent months. Between January 2025 and May 2025, there were multiple violations across various departments, including problems with electrical outlets/switches, plumbing (basins/sinks), doors, floors, and heating systems, with many of these issues being designated as emergencies.

The property has also faced persistent maintenance challenges, with open violations as of November 2024 related to water leaks, door issues, faucet problems, and a non-compliant electronic lock at the main entrance. While there was an active inspection for Local Law 188/17 compliance completed in October 2024 with no enforcement action required, the building has had recurring infrastructure concerns, including plumbing problems and ceiling maintenance issues. The building's recent history shows a concerning pattern of maintenance issues, particularly in 2025, with multiple complaints about plumbing, electrical, and structural problems.

Rodent inspections have produced mixed results, with several passed inspections in 2024-2025, though there were instances of rat activity noted in early 2023. It's worth noting that the building has maintained a clean track record regarding bedbugs, with no reported infestations in the past eight reporting periods from 2019 to 2025. The property was also cited for failure to file energy benchmarking reports in 2020, though these violations were eventually dismissed upon confirmation of submission.
