1561 Walton Avenue, Bronx, NY 10452

1561 Walton Avenue is an 11-story, 60-unit residential building constructed in 2015, currently owned by Jacqueline Tom. The property has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water systems, particularly notable in 2025 with multiple emergency complaints across different months, affecting both the entire building and individual apartments. While most of these heat-related complaints were resolved promptly through HPD verification, they indicate ongoing maintenance challenges with the building's heating infrastructure.

More recently, in June 2025, there are open complaints regarding water leaks with heavy flow and ceiling paint/plaster issues that remain unresolved. The building has demonstrated some environmental compliance issues, including a missed FISP Cycle 9A filing deadline in 2022 (though later deleted as not required), and received an ECB violation in December 2022 related to exterior wall maintenance reporting. The building's maintenance record shows some significant repairs and violations specific to Apartment 3D, including multiple radiator valve issues identified in December 2024 inspections.

Public areas of the building have also required attention, with violations noted in October 2024 regarding fire retardant materials, ceiling paint, and a self-closing door issue in the first-story public hall. On a positive note, the building has maintained a clean record regarding pest control, with no bedbug infestations reported in the past two years, and consistently passing rodent inspections through 2025. The property has shown some improvements in recent months, with three heat-related complaints in May 2025 being successfully resolved, though the open complaints from June 2025 suggest ongoing maintenance requirements.
