1027 Walton Avenue, Bronx, NY 10452
The six-story, 85-unit building at 1027 Walton Avenue, currently owned by Matthew Schmelzer, has experienced numerous maintenance issues in recent years, particularly in 2025. Most notably, there are currently three open complaints through HPD as of mid-2025, including issues with plumbing (basins/sinks), general mailbox problems, and previously reported concerns that remained uninspected due to access issues. The building has also faced persistent pest problems, with multiple HPD complaints about unsanitary conditions related to pests between March and May 2025, and rodent activity confirmed during inspections in late 2024 and early 2025, though with bait applied consistently between March and July 2025.
The property has a documented history of elevator service challenges, with multiple complaints about "Single Device on Property/No Alternate Service" between 2021 and 2025. Significant violations were recorded in 2021 regarding an unauthorized cellar conversion with multiple bedrooms and bathrooms, which resulted in active ECB violations with penalties totaling $7,500. The building's maintenance record shows various repairs and violations being addressed, including issues with building facade, door mechanisms, and plumbing fixtures.
While there were some bedbug infestations reported between 2018 and 2022, recent filings from 2023-2024 indicate no current infestations. The building's water heating system had a heat/hot water complaint in March 2025 that was resolved, and multiple HPD inspection attempts in 2025 have been hampered by access issues. The property maintains active compliance efforts, with multiple rodent control inspections and bait applications throughout 2024-2025 continuing to be documented.
