Augrented Insights Report for 1478 Walton Avenue

The 79-unit, 6-story New Law Tenement building at 1478 Walton Avenue in Mount Eden, built in 1928 and currently owned by Matthew Schmelzer, has experienced recurring maintenance and safety issues over the past several years. Most recently, in 2025, there were complaints about unsanitary conditions related to pests and cabinet issues, with violations issued for the pest problem. Earlier in 2025, there were two instances of heat/hot water complaints affecting the entire building.

The building has faced ongoing challenges with its elevator system, with multiple complaints recorded between 2018-2019 regarding the single device operation and no alternate service, though inspections generally found no violations. Environmental concerns have been persistent, with rodent activity documented in multiple inspections throughout 2024 and 2025, and a notable mouse infestation violation issued in 2024 for apartment 6C. This apartment also experienced various maintenance issues including mold, leaks, and pest problems, though these violations were certified as resolved by mid-2024. The building's infrastructure has undergone several inspections and permits have been issued for various maintenance work, including electrical and plumbing systems.

There have been power outage incidents in March 2024, and multiple service requests related to heating, plumbing, and appliance issues. While the building has shown some improvements in recent years, as evidenced by the lack of bedbug reports since 2021 and some violation resolutions, the pattern of repeated maintenance issues suggests ongoing challenges with building systems and pest control. Recent rodent activity inspections continuing into 2025 indicate this remains a significant concern for the property. The elevator system, while historically problematic, has had fewer complaints in recent years, and most building code violations issued have been resolved, though two violations related to external low-pressure inspection filing from 2023 remain active.
