1224 Walton Avenue, Bronx, NY 10452

The 1224 Walton Avenue building, a 6-story, 37-unit New Law Tenement constructed in 1931, has demonstrated persistent challenges with heating and plumbing systems in recent years. From January 2025 through March 2025, there were multiple complaints and emergency service requests related to heat and hot water issues, both in individual apartments and throughout the building. These problems were documented in multiple HPD complaints and Housing Maintenance Code complaints, with several resulting in violations.

The pattern of heating system problems is striking, with nine separate incidents occurring between January and March 2025 alone, suggesting ongoing maintenance issues. The building's maintenance history shows a combination of resolved and persistent issues. An inspection in January 2024 identified multiple violations in apartment 2F, including problems with peeling paint, water leaks, and various fixture repairs needed.

More recent inspections from 2025 have shown some improvement, with inspections passing in January, March, and July 2025. However, there are currently two active complaints from March 2025 regarding elevator service and an illegal curb cut or driveway/carport issue. The building's bedbug reporting for the past five years shows no infestations since 2018, and recent rodent inspections in 2025 have all passed, though there were initial rodent activity reports in 2023. The elevator system has been a recurring concern, with multiple complaints and violations related to the single device on property and lack of alternate service, including an ECB violation in 2021 regarding improper installation of required equipment.
