751 Walton Avenue, Bronx, NY 10451

751 Walton Avenue is a 6-story, 100-unit residential building constructed in 1927, currently owned by Jeovanny Gil. The building has experienced significant maintenance issues in recent months, with multiple tenant complaints and violations recorded in 2025. Most notably, there were heat and hot water outages affecting the entire building in June 2025, though services were reportedly restored during inspections. The property has also faced ongoing problems with plumbing, mold, and unsanitary conditions, particularly in May and June 2025, with multiple violations issued for ceiling and wall paint conditions. There is an active unsanitary condition violation regarding garbage/recycling storage and an emergency plumbing issue reported in June 2025.

The building's elevator system has been a recurring concern, with multiple complaints about multiple devices on the property and alternate service issues between 2023-2025. Environmental Control Board violations from 2024 indicate several elevator-related problems, including inoperative zone lock restrictors, misaligned cab mirror, inoperable alarm button, and missing fire-related signs, with an active penalty of $1,250. The building has experienced pest management challenges as evidenced by recurring rodent activity inspections throughout 2024-2025, with bait applied in some instances. Previous bedbug infestations were documented in 2021-2022, though no cases were reported in the most recent 2022-2023 filing period. Multiple housing maintenance code violations have been issued to various apartments (notably 22B and 46B) regarding paint, water leaks, and pest infestations, though some violations have been marked as resolved.

The property has several open violations related to building codes and maintenance requirements, including an active violation for failing to display the energy efficiency score and grade. Historical records show previous administrative violations for failure to file required reports and properly maintain equipment, though many of these have been resolved. The building's management has faced scrutiny for multiple instances of failing to comply with commissioner orders regarding violation corrections between 2021-2024. The permits issued in 2019-2020 suggest some level of maintenance and repair work has been authorized, though the frequency of recent complaints may indicate ongoing maintenance challenges. This summary reflects the building's documented history through October 2023 and current conditions as of July 2025, based on available NYC housing and building records. While significant improvements have been made in some areas, persistent maintenance issues, particularly regarding plumbing, elevator systems, and pest control, continue to affect the building's habitability.
