AI summary · updated June 2026

1535 Walton Avenue is a 6-story, 48-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1928 and currently owned by Jonathan Bakhash. The building has experienced persistent heating and hot water issues throughout 2024-2025, with multiple emergency complaints filed between October 2024 and May 2025, including verified violations in December 2024 affecting apartment 4H. This apartment is currently facing several open violations related to sanitary conditions, including rodent and pest infestations, inadequate heating system maintenance, and defective safety equipment, as documented in the December 2024 inspection. The building has passed recent rodent inspections (June 2025 and December 2024), though earlier inspections in 2023 showed some rat activity.

The property has an active open complaint regarding unsanitary garbage/recycling storage conditions from June 2025. An Environmental Control Board violation from October 2023 cited improper maintenance of window A/C units. Additionally, there are multiple outstanding violations related to the failure to file required external low-pressure inspections between 2018-2023, suggesting potential safety concerns with the building's pressure systems. While the building has documented compliance with bedbug reporting requirements for several years (2019-2024), recent inspections have revealed various other maintenance and safety issues. The property has undergone multiple permit issuances between 2019-2025, with the most recent permits related to electrical work (issued May 2025). Though some heating and hot water issues have been resolved as per HPD inspections, the recurring nature of these complaints and the current open violations indicate ongoing maintenance challenges at the property.
