1563 Walton Avenue, Bronx, NY 10452

1563 Walton Avenue is a 6-story, 26-unit New Law tenement building constructed in 1928, currently owned by Eric Millanjr. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, particularly during the winter months, with multiple emergency service requests filed between December 2024 and February 2025. Both HPD and the Department of Buildings have documented these conditions, with some violations still marked as open. The property has also faced significant maintenance challenges, with active Environmental Control Board violations from 2024 relating to exterior facade maintenance, including issues with cracking, spalling masonry, and loose stucco on multiple building exposures, resulting in substantial fines totaling over $11,000.

A partial vacate order was issued in April 2024 due to hazardous conditions at the building's exposures. The building's interior has undergone various repairs and faced multiple violations over the years. Notable recent violations in 2024 involve apartment 2E, including bathroom floor tiles and intercommunication system issues. Earlier violations from 2022 and 2020 addressed concerns about bedbug reporting and apartment conditions, with some successfully resolved through correction certifications.

The building has maintained a stable rodent control record, successfully passing all inspections from 2019 through 2025. While historical bedbug and pest issues were documented between 2019-2020, recent reporting from 2021-2024 indicates no current infestations or treatments required. The building's plumbing and general maintenance issues appear to be an ongoing concern, with multiple emergency complaints, though some have been resolved promptly by the owner. The property has established a pattern of heating system complaints during colder months, suggesting a persistent infrastructure challenge despite interventions and inspections by regulatory agencies.
