Augrented Insights Report for 1240 Walton Avenue

The 157-unit residential building at 1240 Walton Avenue, owned by Mark Engel, has experienced numerous maintenance and safety issues over the past year, particularly in 2025. Most notably, there are several ongoing concerns with failed inspections in June 2025 for various maintenance issues including water leaks, window frame problems, and multiple instances of paint/plaster damage. The building has a documented pattern of mold and moisture issues, with confirmed violations in June 2025 and more recent mold inspections in December 2024.

Apartment 112 has multiple open violations from December 2024, including defective plaster surfaces, inoperable smoke detectors, and evidence of pest infestation (both mice and roaches). The building's elevator system has been a recurring concern, with multiple complaints and violations documented between 2023 and 2025. Recent elevator-related issues include defective car door restrictors and improper maintenance, with fines totaling $2,500. There are also active environmental control board violations from 2023 regarding unpermitted laundry facilities in the cellar with gas dryers and washers, creating potential fire hazards.

The property has experienced periodic bedbug infestations, with the most recent reports indicating one unit affected in 2024-2025, though past years showed higher counts. Rodent inspections throughout 2024 and 2025 have yielded mixed results, with some showing rat activity and others passing inspections. Additionally, the building has several open violations related to failure to certify corrections on immediately hazardous conditions as of late 2024, and there was a significant fire-related incident in early 2023 affecting multiple apartments. The property has been under multiple housing maintenance code scrutiny, with various violations requiring timely correction under NYC housing laws.
