3807 Barnes Avenue, Bronx, NY 10467

The three-family residential building at 3807 Barnes Avenue in Williamsbridge, owned by Surinder Virk, has been subject to several notable safety and compliance issues since its construction in 2005. Most recently, in April 2024, the building underwent inspections that revealed deficiencies in life safety systems, specifically defective smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detection devices in the third-story apartment.

These violations were subsequently addressed and certified as corrected by May 2024. The building had also faced recurring issues with bedbug reporting compliance, with violations noted in 2021 and 2022, though all subsequent filings from 2022 through 2024 indicated no infested units, with the most recent 2024 filing showing zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units.

The property has undergone regular rodent inspections, with mixed results; while it passed a compliance inspection in November 2022, it had initially failed a September 2022 inspection for unspecified reasons. This three-story structure, classified as HEREAFTER ERECTED CLASS A, has maintained a consistent pattern of addressing violations once cited, though the repeated nature of some safety system issues, particularly the smoke and carbon monoxide detector problems, suggests attention to building systems maintenance could be improved. The building's age of 20 years is relatively young for New York City standards, and while there have been various compliance issues, there is no pattern of systemic problems affecting overall habitability or resident safety.
