Completed in 1924, 2281 University Ave rises 5 stories over Bronx. Public records put it at 57 units and 46,210 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R7-1. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $3.2M, and assessed for tax at $1.4M. In the 60 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 2,919 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward complaint: 1,777 of its 2,919 records, fully 61%, fall under that one heading. Violation (916) and enforcement (75) trail well behind. 14 violations stand open against it today.

The pace is anything but even. The early decades pass in near silence; the filings cluster heavily in recent years, peaking in 2023.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 28, with a site energy-use intensity of 100.8 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 303 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 61% complaint, 60 years of accumulation, a parcel of Bronx — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$3.2M of Bronx, written across 2,919 government filings.
