2751 University Avenue, Bronx, NY 10468

2751 University Avenue is a 6-story, 32-unit residential building located in the Kingsbridge neighborhood of the Bronx, constructed in 1936 and currently owned by Enver Rexhepi. The building has experienced persistent maintenance issues over recent years, with the most pressing concerns emerging between late 2024 and early 2025. These include multiple violations for plumbing issues (toilets and showers), mold, unsanitary conditions, and problems with walls, cabinets, and flooring.

The property has two active ECB violations related to building facade maintenance from 2024, with outstanding penalties of $630 and $2,500 respectively, including serious issues like cracked/spalling brick around windows on the south and east facades. There are also multiple historical violations regarding facade maintenance, critical examination reports, and structural safety, with some penalties exceeding $10,000. The building has a documented history of rodent activity, with recent inspections in 2025 showing rat activity present.

There have been ongoing issues with water-related problems, evidenced by multiple water leaks and maintenance complaints. The property has undergone several rodent pest control treatments since 2019, and while there have been no documented bedbug infestations since 2021, there is an open notice of violation related to lead-based paint hazards. While inspections of some building systems, including electrical outlets and stair flooring, have found no violations, the persistence of mold and plumbing issues suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The building's owners have received multiple partial vacate orders due to facade and courtyard issues, and there have been several instances where HPD inspections were unable to be completed, requiring re-inspection requests from tenants.
