2426 University Avenue, Bronx, NY 10468

The five-story, 11-unit tenement building at 2426 University Avenue in Kingsbridge, owned by Avraham Benamram and constructed in 1912, has experienced persistent maintenance challenges throughout 2024. Most recently, in December 2024, the building received violations for heating system access issues and inadequate hot water supply, with similar heating complaints dating back to early 2024. The property has shown ongoing plumbing problems, including multiple water supply issues, faucet leaks, and bathroom fixture concerns documented throughout the year.

A significant concentration of violations was recorded in July 2024, including issues with pests, wall conditions, and several plumbing-related problems affecting multiple units. The building's maintenance record reveals a pattern of infrastructure and safety concerns, with open violations as of December 2024 indicating problems with hot water supply, plumbing fixtures, and building systems. The property has undergone regular rodent control inspections throughout 2024, with consistent evidence of rat activity and the application of bait, suggesting an ongoing pest management challenge.

While the building's records show no reported bedbug infestations in recent years, the frequency of maintenance issues raises questions about overall building conditions. Historical records from 2021-2023 include a noted violation for unauthorized construction work involving room subdivisions on the first floor, which resulted in a penalty through the Environmental Control Board. Despite some complaints being resolved, many violations remain active as of the most recent inspections, particularly regarding the building's heating system and water supply infrastructure.
