Completed in 1922, 2542 University Ave rises 5 stories over Bronx. Public records put it at 59 units and 42,730 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R6. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $3.5M, and assessed for tax at $1.6M. In the 66 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 2,081 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward complaint: 1,221 of its 2,081 records, fully 59%, fall under that one heading. Violation (592) and enforcement (89) trail well behind. 116 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 2024.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 44, with a site energy-use intensity of 104.9 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 290 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 59% complaint, 66 years of accumulation, a parcel of Bronx — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$3.5M of Bronx, written across 2,081 government filings.
