72-22 Burchell Avenue, Queens, NY 11692

This three-story, three-unit building at 72-22 Burchell Avenue in Arverne, owned by Bronx Investment Group 1 Inc., has a documented history of heating system issues and safety violations. Most recently, in February 2025 and November 2023, there were complaints regarding inadequate heat and hot water, though the February 2025 complaint was resolved with confirmation of correction.

The building has experienced repeated heating system problems, with the most recent permit issuance for new electrical work in September 2023 suggesting ongoing maintenance efforts. Significant violations were noted in 2024 regarding defective self-closing doors in both the second-floor apartment and cellar entrance, while earlier in 2023, multiple safety issues were identified in the second-floor apartment including problems with carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, and electrical outlets. The property has a concerning pattern of regulatory compliance issues, particularly noted in several Environmental Control Board violations from 2018-2021 regarding work performed without proper permits and failure to comply with correction orders, resulting in multiple penalties totaling over $12,500.

In 2022-2023, there were violations related to heating system requirements and various safety features, though these were subsequently certified as corrected. The building's record indicates regular bedbug inspections with no reported infestations in the past two reporting periods (2022-2024), though a rodent inspection from 2012 recorded a failed result for unspecified reasons. The property has maintained active permit issuance in recent years, with multiple electrical work permits issued between 2022 and 2023, suggesting ongoing maintenance and improvement efforts by the current ownership.
