1062 Walton Avenue, Bronx, NY 10452

1062 Walton Avenue is a three-story, three-unit residential building located in the Concourse neighborhood, built in 1899 and currently owned by Stella Akbashev. The building has experienced recurring pest issues over the past several years, with documented rodent sightings in both 2019 and 2020, and multiple rodent inspections showing intermittent activity, most recently in May 2025. Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2018 revealed multiple serious issues in apartment 2, including problems with pests (specifically roaches and mice), inadequate hot and cold water supply, damaged plaster surfaces, and mold.

More recent inspections in 2022-2023 documented the property filing annual bedbug reports, with no infestations reported during these periods. The building has faced some regulatory scrutiny regarding construction work and safety compliance. In 2023, there were two complaints about work being conducted without proper permits and concerns about suspended scaffolds, resulting in an Environmental Control Board violation for inadequate safety measures during construction work, with a $2,500 penalty imposed.

However, these violations were resolved. The Department of Buildings has conducted multiple inspections of the property, with most recent records showing completed permits for various work in 2019-2020, though there were some inspections where access was not granted. The building's maintenance pattern shows periodic attention to pest control measures, with recent rodent inspections generally passing, suggesting some level of ongoing management of these issues, though new rat activity was noted as recently as May 2025.
