Augrented Insights Report for 2685 University Avenue

2685 University Avenue is a 180-unit, 6-story New Law Tenement building constructed in 1926, currently owned by Carlo Ceppi. The property has experienced persistent maintenance issues over the past year, with the most pressing concerns involving cooking gas systems, floor conditions, and various appliance-related problems. Between May and June 2025 alone, there were multiple complaints about cooking gas and floor conditions, many of which were not accessible to HPD inspectors.

The building has several open violations from December 2024 related to Unit 11A, including issues with paint conditions, mouse infestation, and various bathroom repairs that require attention. Recent inspections and complaints reveal significant ongoing concerns with the building's systems and infrastructure. There are active ECB violations from 2022-2024 regarding elevator systems, exterior building walls, and facade maintenance.

The building's facade conditions have been particularly notable, with multiple complaints and violations documenting issues such as corroded metal lintels, broken windows, cracked bricks, and spalling mortar joints. The elevator has been a recurring issue, with multiple complaints and violations regarding door monitoring systems and maintenance requirements. Additionally, there is evidence of rat activity throughout the building, with inspections in 2022-2025 consistently showing signs of rodent presence, though recent inspections in 2025 have involved bait application. The building's management has also faced challenges with maintaining proper heating systems, as evidenced by multiple HPD complaints and violations related to temperature deficiencies in various units.
