729 Burke Avenue, Bronx, NY 10467

The three-unit, three-story building at 729 Burke Avenue in Williamsbridge, owned by Anna Sinishtaj, has experienced recurring heating system issues since 2020, with the most recent complaints occurring in January 2025. The building has a documented pattern of heat and hot water complaints, particularly affecting the entire building, with multiple instances of HPD being unable to gain access for inspection. Notable incidents include a heat and hot water complaint in November 2020 that affected multiple apartments, and similar issues in November 2024.

The building has also faced other significant maintenance challenges, including a power outage in November 2022, plumbing and water supply issues in January 2021, and a slow water leak complaint filed in January 2021. The property has been subject to several Housing Maintenance Code violations, particularly in relation to bedbug reporting, with violations noted for failing to file annual reports in 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023. More recently, in 2024, the bedbug reporting status indicates no infested units or eradications during the previous filing period.

The building has undergone rodent inspections in 2019 and 2022, both resulting in passed inspections. Noteworthy violations from 2020 include problems with the heating system access (C violations) and inadequate heat supply in specific apartments (including 1R and 3F), though some of these violations were subsequently closed. The maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with building systems, particularly heating, despite various resolutions being attempted through HPD interventions.
