2020 Walton Avenue, Bronx, NY 10453
The six-story, 60-unit building at 2020 Walton Avenue in Mount Hope, owned by Aaron Bauer, was constructed in 1924 and has experienced numerous maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most concerning is a current open HPD complaint from April 2025 regarding a heavy water leak. Between March and April 2025 alone, there were multiple power outages (March), pest infestations (March), and violations related to heat and hot water systems (January), indicating a pattern of infrastructure challenges.
The building has also faced significant lead paint hazards, particularly in Apartment 3F, where multiple violations were documented in late 2024 requiring correction of peeling paint and deteriorated surfaces. The property has a history of elevator-related problems, with multiple "No Alternate Service" complaints between 2022 and 2024, with the most recent active complaint from December 2024. During 2024, there were substantial violations issued regarding building maintenance, including issues with window guards (January 2025) and various sanitary conditions. The building's common areas and systems have presented persistent challenges, as evidenced by multiple safety violation orders requiring repairs, including a notable ECB violation from October 2023 regarding elevator emergency systems.
Despite these issues, the building has maintained a consistent bedbug-free record in recent years (no infested units reported) and has passed multiple rodent inspections, though there was one instance of rat activity recorded in November 2024. The property's inspection and service request history suggests ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly with building systems such as plumbing, electrical, and heating. Recent HPD violations from 2024-2025 indicate a pattern of infrastructure-related issues, while Department of Buildings records show recurring elevator and safety concerns. The building has also experienced inspections requiring attention to environmental and safety standards, including multiple ECB violations related to elevator operation and maintenance requirements.
