Augrented Insights Report for 2291 University Avenue

2291 University Avenue is a 4-story, 15-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1916, currently owned by Michael Rubin. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues in 2024-2025, with multiple complaints being filed and subsequently investigated by various city agencies, including HPD and DOHMH.

Notable concerns during this period include unsatisfactory conditions related to garbage/recycling storage (with some complaints still open as of June 2025), plumbing problems involving basins/sinks, floor issues, and various paint/plaster concerns throughout the building. The building has also faced pest-related challenges, with rodent activity documented in 2024, though recent inspections in 2025 have shown no violations. The Department of Buildings has recorded several significant violations and complaints, particularly in late 2024 to early 2025, including an active ECB violation regarding unauthorized construction in apartment 4A (creating a second bedroom with drywall partitions) and previous unauthorized work in apartments 1A and 1D involving improper relocation of utility lines and construction of partitions.

There are also multiple historical ECB violations dating from 2020-2021 regarding non-compliance with various building maintenance requirements, including issues with air conditioner installations blocking emergency exits. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of requiring follow-up inspections, with some violations remaining open as of the latest records from 2024-2025. While recent rodent inspections passed, there have been multiple instances of rat activity noted in 2024, though the most recent inspections in 2025 show improvement in this area.
