2600 University Avenue, Bronx, NY 10468

2600 University Avenue is a 5-story, 34-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1918 and currently owned by Sheila Wolfset. The building has experienced persistent heating and hot water issues throughout 2025, with multiple emergency complaints filed between February and March 2025 regarding lack of heat/hot water in the entire building. These issues seemingly continued into April 2025, with violations issued for floor conditions and unsanitary mold problems.

The building's maintenance history shows recurring infrastructure challenges, including a currently open emergency plumbing/water supply issue as of June 2025. In late 2024, several Class C violations were recorded regarding inadequate heat and hot water supply in multiple apartments (1A, 1C, 1E) and locked access issues to the heating system boiler room, though these were certified as corrected by December 24, 2024. Additional maintenance concerns include a mold issue in apartment 1A (November 2024), and safety violations in apartment 3G regarding defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. The building has maintained a record of zero bedbug infestations reported since 2019, with the most recent annual filings (2023-2024) showing no infested units.

However, there has been ongoing rodent activity noted in inspections conducted throughout 2024, with the most recent inspections in May (rat activity), July (rat activity), and August (bait applied) suggesting the presence of continuing pest management challenges. The property has also experienced some issues with accessibility for inspections, particularly regarding the recent refrigerator complaint in March 2025 and several heat/hot water complaints where inspectors were unable to gain access to units for verification. The building's recent history demonstrates continuing concerns with basic services such as heat and hot water, along with some issues related to building maintenance and pest management, though many complaints have been resolved through inspections. While there have been multiple emergency complaints filed, the majority have been documented as closed following HPD inspections.
