Augrented Insights Report for 561 Walton Avenue

The three-story, three-unit building at 561 Walton Avenue, owned by Shmuel Klein, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues in recent years, particularly in 2024-2025. Most notably, there are currently three open Housing Maintenance Code complaints from June 2025 regarding pests, plumbing issues with toilets, and flooring concerns. The building has a documented history of electrical problems, including multiple power outages in July 2024, and more recently, complaints about no lighting in April 2025, which HPD inspectors were unable to access during their investigation attempts.

Between 2024 and 2025, there have also been several complaints about unsanitary conditions, including garbage storage issues. The property is currently facing significant regulatory scrutiny due to multiple active Environmental Control Board violations as of September 2024, including improper self-closing doors throughout the building and unauthorized construction work creating 10 studio apartments with associated plumbing and electrical modifications. These violations carry cumulative penalties exceeding $10,000.

Historical data shows the building has undergone unauthorized conversions, with complaints in 2024 regarding apparent illegal hotel room modifications and illegal apartment conversions in 2024. While the building has consistently passed rodent inspections since 2014 and reported no bedbug infestations in recent years (with reporting showing 0 infested units in 2025), the frequency and nature of recent complaints suggest ongoing maintenance and regulatory compliance challenges. The building's system failures in 2024 included problems with heat/hot water and water supply issues, though many of these complaints were resolved without violations being issued.
