2023 Burr Avenue, Bronx, NY 10461

2023 Burr Avenue in Pelham Bay is a 6-story, 37-unit residential building constructed in 1963 and currently owned by Hamdi Nezaj. The building has experienced persistent heating systems issues throughout 2025, with multiple Emergency heat/hot water complaints recorded between January and March 2025, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building.

While most of these complaints were resolved promptly after HPD intervention, the frequency of occurrences in early 2025 raises concerns about system reliability. The building has two open violations from August 2024 related to the first-story vestibule's ceiling and fire-retardant materials. Apartment 3A has documented issues from mid-2024 including water leaks, defective plaster surfaces, and door self-closing problems, while Apartment 6C reportedly has defective ceramic tiles in the bathroom.

The building's elevator system has attracted attention, with complaints registered in 2019, 2023, and most recently in May 2025, though inspections consistently found no violations. A concerning fire safety issue has recently emerged, with an active Environmental Control Board violation from December 2024 regarding obstructed exit passageways, resulting in a $1,280 penalty. While the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbugs and rodent issues in recent years, passing inspections in 2016, 2019, and 2021, the recurring heating system problems and recent fire safety violation suggest potential challenges in building maintenance and safety compliance.
