1920 Walton Avenue, Bronx, NY 10453

The 1920 Walton Avenue building, managed by owner Manny Stein, is a 6-story, 85-unit New Law Tenement built in 1926 located in the Mount Hope neighborhood. The property has experienced ongoing maintenance challenges throughout 2025, with several heat and hot water complaints, unsanitary conditions related to pests, and issues with ceiling paint/plaster noted in multiple HPD service requests. Most recently, in June 2025, there were separate complaints about water leaks and ceiling paint problems classified as emergencies.

The building's elevator system has been a recurring concern, with multiple complaints about single device operation and lack of alternate service between 2020 and 2024, resulting in violations and some penalties. The property also has active violations regarding the timely submission of required FISP Cycle 8B and 9B technical reports, which document the condition of exterior walls and appurtenances. Recent rodent inspections have indicated ongoing pest control challenges, with multiple compliance failures noted between 2024 and 2025.

The building has shown some historical pattern of maintenance violations, with past issues including hot water temperature concerns, water leaks, and various repair needs documented through HPD violations. While there have been no reported bedbug infestations in recent years (2020-2024), the building's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with basic housing infrastructure. The property has undergone various repair and maintenance work, as evidenced by multiple permit issuances between 2018 and 2020, including equipment and electrical work, though some related violations regarding maintenance and occupancy standards have been noted.
