565 Walton Avenue, Bronx, NY 10451

The three-story, three-unit building at 565 Walton Avenue in the Concourse neighborhood, owned by Diana Hernandez, has experienced several notable events since its construction in 1901. Most recently, in April 2024, the building received an open Housing Maintenance Code violation related to the failure to file the required annual bedbug report, marking the fourth consecutive year (2021-2024) this same violation has occurred.

The building is currently showing an active Department of Buildings (DOB) violation from June 2023 regarding the failure to file the 2018 External Low-Pressure Inspection. While there have been multiple rodent inspections conducted between 2015 and 2024, most recent inspections (2022, 2023, and 2024) have passed, though the building failed two inspections in 2017 for unspecified "Other Reasons." The building's bedbug reporting history shows consistent compliance from 2019 to 2022, with zero reported infested or eradicated units during the specified periods, suggesting effective pest management prior to the recent violation.

Two permits were issued in 2024 and 2023 for work categorized as "AL," suggesting alterations or renovations, while three permits were issued in 2020 for "EW" (electrical work) and "PL" (plumbing) projects. A DOB complaint about illegal conversion from January 2023 was closed in February 2023 after access was denied on the second attempt. The building's history indicates generally good maintenance practices, with the most significant recent issues being the recurring bedbug report violation and the outstanding low-pressure inspection violation, both of which may affect resident comfort and safety.
