Augrented Insights Report for 2015 University Avenue

The 63-unit, 5-story tenement building at 2015 University Avenue, owned by Mark Engel and constructed in 1921, has been experiencing persistent maintenance issues throughout 2024-2025, with multiple emergency complaints recently filed and some remaining unresolved. Most notably, there are ongoing concerns about mold, with HPD inspections in 2025 finding additional mold problems that necessitated new violation notices.

The building has also faced significant maintenance challenges, including plumbing issues (sink/basin problems), ceiling plaster issues, and recent electrical lighting concerns as of June 2025. The heating system has been another source of recent complaints, with emergency heat/hot water issues reported in January 2025 affecting the entire building, particularly impacting apartments 1BW and 2AW according to the Housing Maintenance Code Violations. The property has a documented history of rodent activity, with inspections between 2023 and 2025 consistently showing evidence of rat problems, though previous inspections in 2020-2021 showed no issues.

The building's condition has prompted multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations, including outstanding issues as of late 2024-2025 such as plumbing repairs needed in apartment 1BW and water closet issues in apartment 1DN. While there were some successful remediation efforts noted, such as mold abatement in apartment 4BW and carbon monoxide detector repairs, the overall pattern shows recurring maintenance challenges. The building has maintained a relatively clear record regarding bedbug infestations in recent years, with no reported cases from 2021 to 2024, though there were some instances in 2019-2020.
