931 Burke Avenue, Bronx, NY 10469

931 Burke Avenue is a two-story, 4-unit residential building located in the Williamsbridge neighborhood, constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Rennie Somar. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past several years, with significant concerns between 2019-2022 primarily involving heat/hot water problems, sanitation issues, and pest control challenges. In particular, the building faced multiple heat and hot water complaints in 2019 and 2022, with some resulting in HPD inspections.

The property has documented pest infestations, including a specific violation for mice infestation in apartment 2R in 2022 that required abatement. Additional maintenance issues included window repairs and door security concerns in apartment 1F, as well as plumbing and water supply problems. The building's recent history shows improved conditions, with the most recent bedbug reports (2023-2024) showing no infested units, and a rodent inspection in June 2022 resulting in a pass.

Two bedbug reporting violations were issued in 2022-2023, though these were subsequently resolved. The property has also faced a zoning non-conformance issue in late 2019 regarding parking regulations, with eight vehicles observed during inspection, though the penalty was ultimately dismissed. Several open maintenance violations remain on record, including concerns about carbon monoxide detectors and window repairs in apartment 1F, as well as an open violation from 2022 regarding an unsecured washbasin in apartment 2R. A new permit was issued in November 2023 via the Department of Buildings, indicating potential ongoing maintenance or improvement work.
