2714 University Avenue, Bronx, NY 10468

2714 University Avenue is a 5-story, 41-unit New Law tenement building constructed in 1926 and currently owned by Osman Osmani. The building has experienced recurring heating system issues, with multiple complaints about lack of heat and hot water in recent years, including three separate incidents in late 2024 to early 2025, and a similar pattern in 2022 that saw at least eight heat-related complaints within a few months.

Other significant maintenance issues have included a heavy water leak in 2022, plumbing problems affecting a kitchen sink in 2022, and pest-related concerns including reports of mice and roaches in 2019. The building's maintenance record shows some improvements, as evidenced by three consecutive successful rodent inspections in 2024 and 2025, though there were earlier failures noted in 2021 and 2022. Violations from 2019-2021 included problems with window guards and self-closing doors in various apartments, as well as a defective carbon monoxide detector.

The building has consistently met bedbug reporting requirements from 2019 through 2024, with no reported infestations during these periods, and the most recent filings in 2024 indicate zero infested units. Recent violations include a 2024 notice requiring the annual bedbug report filing, though this appears to have been the only active violation in recent years. While the building has experienced ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly with the heating system, recent records suggest improved compliance with pest control and safety requirements.
