1184 Walton Avenue, Bronx, NY 10452

The 39-unit, 5-story New Law Tenement building at 1184 Walton Avenue, owned by David Gunsberg, has experienced persistent heat and hot water issues over the past year, with six emergency complaints filed between September 2024 and January 2025, some requiring HPD intervention to verify corrections. Multiple maintenance concerns have been documented through 311 complaints, including unsanitary conditions in garbage storage areas, reported mold, slow water leaks, and appliance problems during 2024.

The building has faced structural and safety inspections, with active violations noted in 2023 related to exterior wall defects including step cracks, bulging, spalling bricks, and mortar issues, as well as concerns about illegally installed window units blocking fire escape egress. Recent rodent inspections have shown variable results, with four instances of rat activity reported between 2023-2025, though the most recent June 2025 inspection passed. The building has undergone several name changes in its history, from GGS1 LLC in 2023 to WINWAL in 2022 (appearing to refer to the same unit).

While there have been no documented bedbug infestations in recent years, a pest control violation related to mice infestation was recorded in 2023. Maintenance violations from 2024-2025 have included problems with water leaks, gas service, electrical systems, and various apartment-specific issues, all of which were eventually certified as corrected. The property has an active violation regarding failure to certify correction of immediately hazardous conditions as of November 2023, and pending permit applications from late 2021 remain in process.
