Augrented Insights Report for 1970 Walton Avenue

1970 Walton Avenue is a 6-story, 70-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1927, currently owned by Joseph Fessel. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent months (May-June 2025), including multiple complaints regarding flooring, water leaks, door/window problems, and safety concerns related to window guards. Notably, there is an ongoing Department of Health complaint regarding construction lead dust in common areas (as of May 2025).

The building has also faced persistent elevator issues, with multiple complaints about single-device service and no alternate service between 2024-2025, and an ECB violation for being out of service with a penalty of $625 in September 2023. Recent inspection records show multiple housing code violations, particularly in Apartment 5F regarding window repairs, and in Apartment 5B for lead paint hazards and other maintenance issues. The building has passed recent rodent inspections (March and May 2025), though there was documented rat activity in late 2024.

Historical data shows the building has experienced various maintenance challenges over the years, including multiple citations for work without proper permits in 2019-2020, concerning unauthorized electrical work and unauthorized alteration of unit layouts. However, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with zero reported cases in the past six reporting periods (2019-2024). The property has active violations related to failing to perform certain required inspections, though several older violations from previous years have been resolved or dismissed.
