2432 University Avenue, Bronx, NY 10468

2432 University Avenue is a 5-story, 45-unit residential building constructed in 1921 in the Kingsbridge neighborhood, currently owned by Heng Ly. The building has experienced numerous maintenance issues in recent months, with several housing maintenance code complaints and violations recorded between 2024 and 2025. Most notably, in May 2025, there were multiple complaints including plumbing issues with toilets (classified as an emergency), and there have been recurring concerns about mold, ceiling problems, and various unsanitary conditions.

The building's history shows pattern maintenance issues, including a class B violation for mold in apartment 1H from August 2024, and several self-closing door problems identified in 2024. Rodent activity has been a persistent issue, with failed inspections recorded in multiple years, including 2024, 2023, and earlier periods. The building's infrastructure and systems have showed concerning patterns, including a heat and hot water complaint for the entire building in February 2025, and several violations related to building safety features such as doors and windows.

Of particular note, there was a defective/inoperative boiler complaint in March 2025, though the inspector was unable to gain access to verify the condition. The property has documented its bedbug history, showing infestations in 2019 and minimal or no activity in subsequent years up to 2024, suggesting some improvement in this area. December 2024-November 2025 records show no reported infestations. The building's systems and maintenance history suggest ongoing challenges with basic infrastructure needs, though many recent complaints have been inspected and either resolved or classified as non-violations, indicating some level of responsiveness to maintenance issues.
