2344 University Avenue, Bronx, NY 10468

2344 University Avenue, a 4-story, 9-unit New Law Tenement built in 1911 and currently owned by Nua Dedvukaj, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, in October 2024, there were multiple emergency complaints regarding plumbing problems (including sinks and toilets) and mold issues, though HPD inspections determined these did not violate housing laws. The building has also faced challenges with pest control, particularly during a July 2022 incident involving both roaches and mice in apartment 3N, resulting in multiple violations requiring remediation.

While bedbug reports filed from 2020-2024 show zero infested units during their respective periods, the property has experienced periodic rodent activity, with recent inspections in 2025 and 2023 showing rat presence, though earlier inspections from 2022-2024 passed without issue. The building's maintenance history includes various repairs and violations, such as the need for door repairs in apartment 2N (2024) and issues with the vestibule door lock (2024). A significant flooring problem was documented in 2019 concerning the private hallway and kitchen in apartment 4N.

While the property has generally maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, there have been recurring issues with mold and plumbing systems. The building's recent inspection history demonstrates ongoing monitoring of rodent activity, with some inspections showing violations while others pass. The property was constructed prior to modern building codes, which may contribute to some of the persistent maintenance issues observed in recent years.
