This four-story, 8-unit tenement building in University Heights, built in 1912 and currently owned by Lucy Guzman, has experienced numerous maintenance and safety issues over the past two years. The property has persistent problems with unsanitary conditions, most recently evidenced by multiple March 2025 complaints regarding garbage/recycling storage issues and pests, with violations issued by HPD.

There are ongoing rodent control measures in place, with bait applied regularly throughout 2024-2025. Notable infrastructure concerns include building-wide heat and hot water issues in January 2025, plumbing problems in October 2024, and an active ECB violation from April 2024 regarding a deteriorating exterior metal cornice with loose pieces and debris hazards, for which a penalty of $6,250 was imposed and remains due. The building has multiple open housing maintenance code violations, particularly affecting Apartment 4, including problems with scalding hot water (exceeding 130 degrees F), leaky faucets, and various safety equipment deficiencies (smoke detector, carbon monoxide detector, and fire escape window lock).

There have been consistent reports of pest issues, with documented roach and mouse infestations in Apartments 8 and 4, respectively. Building safety and compliance issues have also been noted, including a 2019 violation for failing to file annual boiler inspection reports, and various code violations related to building signage and inspection certificate placement. While some complaints have been resolved, including recent rodent inspection compliance in May 2025, the pattern of recurring issues suggests ongoing maintenance challenges.
