2316 University Avenue, Bronx, NY 10468

The five-story, 22-unit residential building at 2316 University Avenue in University Heights, owned by Tony Huang and built in 1921, has experienced a series of maintenance and safety issues throughout 2024. Most notably, between June and July 2024, multiple emergency complaints were filed and subsequently closed regarding unsanitary conditions, including mold, door issues, ceiling problems, and plumbing concerns, with several violations issued related to safety (smoke detector) and various maintenance issues.

Apartment 1C and 5B had particularly documented violations, with 1C showing problems with paint conditions, water leaks, cabinets, and various maintenance requirements, while 5B had violations regarding ceilings, mold, and cabinet issues. The building also faced significant concerns in October 2021 regarding gas-related violations, including improper installations and safety concerns, resulting in multiple Environmental Control Board violations with associated penalties, though records indicate these were resolved by 2022. Recent inspections have shown ongoing challenges with rodent activity, particularly between 2024-2025, though the most recent inspection in July 2025 passed compliance.

However, the building has maintained an active record of addressing pest control, with regular reports showing no bedbug infestations between 2020-2025. While the building has experienced various maintenance challenges over the years, including issues with paint conditions, plumbing, and safety systems, records indicate that most violations have been addressed through appropriate channels, though some violations from July 2024 appear to remain open as of October 2023. The building's recent history shows improved maintenance of pest control systems, passing recent rodent inspections and maintaining a consistent record of bedbug-free status through systematic reporting.
