988 Burke Avenue, Bronx, NY 10469

Located in the Williamsbridge neighborhood of the Bronx, 988 Burke Avenue is a 6-unit, 3-story Class A building constructed in 1931 and currently owned by Evn Pak. The property has experienced recurring heating-related issues, with the most recent emergency complaints in February 2025 regarding both apartment-specific heat/hot water problems and cooking gas concerns, which remain unresolved as of this report date. Historical heating system troubles are evident, including a building-wide heat/hot water outage reported in May 2019, though that issue was reportedly resolved.

The building has undergone several inspections and received multiple violations over the years, most notably regarding various maintenance issues in Apartment 1A, including ceiling light fixture problems, self-closing door requirements, and inadequate hot/cold water supply violations – all of which were ultimately resolved. Recent 2023-2024 bedbug filings indicate zero infestations, and rodent inspections show generally passing results, though there were periods of concern between 2011-2012 with multiple failed inspections. The building has current open complaints as of July 2025, including a general maintenance complaint about cooking gas from February 2025 and a plumbing issue where inspectors were unable to gain access in May 2025.

A garage sign violation was resolved in July 2024. The property has maintained annual bedbug reporting compliance from 2020 through 2025, consistently showing no infested units. Historical violations from various years are notable for their diversity, including issues with building entrance lighting (2013), heating system access (2007), and security concerns (2005), all of which have been addressed. The building's management has responded to various internal and external inspections from agencies such as HPD, DOHMH, and the Department of Buildings, demonstrating ongoing interaction with regulatory bodies regarding maintenance and compliance matters.
