2315 Andrews Avenue North, Bronx, NY 10468

The five-story, 38-unit building at 2315 Andrews Avenue North in University Heights, owned by Martin Rooney and built in 1921, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues in recent months. Between January and March 2025, there were multiple complaints about heat and hot water issues, though these were generally resolved promptly according to HPD records.

More recently, in March 2025, multiple complaints were filed regarding various maintenance issues, including problems with paint/plaster on doors and ceilings, window frames, cabinets, and plumbing, particularly involving sinks. While some of these issues were inspected and found not to violate housing codes, several inspections were unable to be completed, requiring tenants to re-file complaints for proper evaluation. The building's maintenance history reveals more significant concerns from earlier in 2024, particularly regarding Unit 5C, which had multiple violations related to water leaks, bathroom fixtures, and various surface repairs that were subsequently certified as corrected.

The building has also faced structural maintenance issues, including violations in 2024 concerning a broken entrance door lock, rusted balcony and stair conditions, and a missing marble tread on a staircase. Despite these challenges, the building has maintained an active record of compliance with bedbug and rodent inspections, showing no reported infestations since at least 2019 and passing most rodent inspections, though there were instances of rat activity noted in 2016 and 2024. The building currently has two active violations related to energy efficiency score display requirements, dating back to 2021 and 2023.
