1955 Burke Avenue, Bronx, NY 10469

The three-story, three-unit residential building at 1955 Burke Avenue in Baychester, owned by Marcel Ifill and constructed in 1993, has experienced several maintenance issues over the past five years. The most significant recent concern was a pest infestation in June 2022 that resulted in violations from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). The property has a documented history of heat and hot water issues, particularly in late 2020, when multiple emergency complaints were filed between October and November regarding these essential services.

Additionally, there were electrical problems with lighting during the same period, resulting in both violation and non-violation status inspections. The building's maintenance record shows ongoing challenges with building systems and tenant comforts, including issues with paint and plaster conditions that have required both emergency and non-emergency interventions. In 2022, multiple violations were documented in Apartment 1, including problems with self-closing doors, rodent infestation, and interior surface repairs needed in the kitchen and bathroom.

Of particular note, the building has maintained a bedbug and rodent-free status in recent years, with the most recent bedbug report from May 2025 showing no infested units. The property's bedbug reporting history from 2021 to present consistently shows zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units, though there was one separate bedbug-related violation noted in 2022 requiring correction. The most recent HPD violations from 2023-2024 were related to annual bedbug reporting requirements, which appear to have been properly addressed as the most recent filings show no infestations.
