1097 Walton Avenue, Bronx, NY 10452

The 5-story, 60-unit residential building at 1097 Walton Avenue in the Concourse neighborhood, owned by Salvatore Davola, has experienced numerous maintenance issues over recent years. Most notably, in June 2025, multiple violations were documented including plumbing problems (bathtub/shower issues), water leaks, window frame problems, and pest infestations.

The building has also faced recurring heat and hot water supply issues, with complaints registered in February 2025, both for individual apartments and the entire building, though some were resolved upon follow-up inspections. A significant pattern of pest-related problems is evident, with verified issues in multiple apartments including documented rat activity and rodent control measures as recently as July 2025. The building's violation history reveals several ongoing concerns, particularly in Apartment 21, where multiple open violations from October 2024 have been recorded, including problems with gas supply, electrical systems, mold, and pest infestations.

Other violations of note include active ECB violations from 2023 regarding inspection compliance, and previous structural concerns such as brick damage documented in 2018. While building management has responded to numerous inspection requests and applied remedies in many cases, there are outstanding violations including one related to the heating system access. The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in the past four reporting periods from 2021 through 2024, though recent pest control efforts suggest ongoing maintenance challenges.
