2026 Walton Avenue, Bronx, NY 10453

2026 Walton Avenue is an 8-story, 43-unit residential building constructed in 2020 and owned by Egris Haxhari. The property has experienced recurring pest-related issues, with three separate complaints about unsanitary conditions due to pests filed between December 2023 and June 2024, though in two instances, inspectors were unable to access the premises. The building has also had various maintenance issues that were generally addressed, including plumbing problems (basin/sink) and concerns about paint/plaster, window frames, and heating systems, with no violations issued during HPD inspections in 2023-2024.

During construction in 2020, there were several regulatory matters requiring attention, including a Stop Work Order (fully rescinded) and a $12,500 penalty for failure to designate a construction superintendent, though most other inspection requests during this period found no violations. The building's recent history shows consistent compliance with rodent inspections, passing every inspection from 2023 to 2025. Interestingly, while there were multiple pest-related complaints in 2023-2024, the building has maintained a clean record in terms of bedbug reports, with three consecutive years (2022-2024) reporting zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units.

A housing maintenance violation regarding a defective compactor closet door was issued in 2022 (Class C), though this appears to have been resolved. The Department of Buildings inspections and complaints records show only minor issues during the building's initial years, with no serious violations or recurring problems noted since 2020, apart from the aforementioned pest complaints. The most recent housing-related complaints have been primarily non-emergency issues rather than urgent safety concerns.
