1475 Walton Avenue, Bronx, NY 10452

The 1475 Walton Avenue building in Mount Eden, a 68-unit, 6-story Class A structure built in 1935 and currently owned by Walton Avenue Associates, LLC, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there have been multiple heat and water supply complaints, with the most recent heat/water issue occurring in January 2025. The building underwent significant inspections in late 2024, revealing violations related to mold in multiple apartments (2L, 5H), bathroom tile damage (3G, 4B), and a pest infestation (6B).

A concerning pattern of garbage/recycling storage complaints has emerged, with four such complaints filed between September 2024 and January 2025, though HPD inspections found no housing law violations in these cases. An emergency inspection in September 2024 resulted in violations for water leaks, paint/plaster issues, and pest problems. More recently, in June 2025, multiple plumbing/water supply emergency complaints were filed and addressed.

The building has experienced some infrastructure challenges, with the Department of Buildings noting a failure to submit required exterior wall examination documentation in 2018, resulting in a $1,250 penalty. Bedbug reports indicate a single infestation in 2019, with no reported cases from 2020 to the present. Rodent inspections show generally passing results, though a rat activity detection was recorded in June 2025. The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with moisture-related issues, as evidenced by multiple mold violations and water-related complaints, though recent remediation efforts appear to be addressing these problems.
