The 6-story, 48-unit residential building at 865 Walton Avenue in the Concourse neighborhood, owned by Jay Miller, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues as of 2025. Most notably, in mid-2025, the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene responded to a food establishment complaint related to rodents, which is currently in progress. Multiple violations were issued following inspections in May 2025, including issues with ceiling and wall paint/plaster, mold, pest infestations, and electrical problems.
The building has a documented history of elevator-related concerns, with multiple complaints between 2021-2022 regarding single device operation and no alternate service, though recent inspections in 2023-2024 show no violations. The property has ongoing regulatory challenges as evidenced by multiple active violations. These include environmental control board violations related to improper door hardware, defective self-closing doors, and unauthorized modifications in apartments including unauthorized plumbing and electrical work.
The building's management has faced penalties for these issues, though some violations have been resolved. Health and safety concerns have been documented through various complaints, including multiple instances of rat activity between 2023-2025, though recent inspections have passed. Importantly, there are several active DOB violations from 2023-2025 regarding failure to file required reports and certifications, indicating potential ongoing compliance issues. The building's maintenance history shows periodic problems with heat and hot water systems, particularly in early 2025, though these issues were subsequently verified as corrected.
