731 Burke Avenue, Bronx, NY 10467

731 Burke Avenue is a 5-unit, 3-story residential building located in the Williamsbridge neighborhood, owned by Anna Sinishtaj and constructed in 1920. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years, most notably regarding heating systems. In November 2020, multiple violations were documented concerning inadequate heat supply in apartments 2R and 3F, along with access issues to the boiler room.

While these heating violations were eventually closed, they were part of a pattern of heating-related concerns, including a HPD complaint in November 2020 about heat/hot water access. The building has continued to face compliance challenges, particularly regarding bedbug reporting requirements. Open violations exist from 2021 through 2024 related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as mandated by HPD rules, which represents a persistent regulatory oversight issue.

The property has maintained a relatively stable rodent control record in recent years, passing inspections in 2019, 2022, and showing improvement from multiple failures in 2010-2016. Two notable service complaints were received through 311: an illegal farm animal complaint in 2022 that could not be inspected, and the aforementioned heating complaint in 2020 that required multiple apartment access attempts for verification. While there are no current active violations for heating systems, the historical pattern of heating problems and persistent bedbug reporting violations suggest ongoing maintenance and regulatory compliance challenges. The building's age and history of various system-related issues indicate potential for recurring maintenance concerns, though recent rodent inspections show improved compliance in that specific area.
