1727 Walton Avenue, Bronx, NY 10453

1727 Walton Avenue is a 56-unit, 5-story New Law tenement building constructed in 1925 and currently owned by Joseph Pistilli. The building has experienced persistent maintenance issues in 2025, with multiple open complaints including a water leak (reported May 2025), unsanitary conditions (pests and mold reported June 2025), and various plumbing and door/window problems. Notably, apartment 2B has several open Housing Maintenance Code Violations from November 2024, including issues with water leaks, defective wood floors, window problems, and required painting of walls and ceilings.

The building has documented rat activity throughout 2024-2025, with multiple inspections showing evidence of rodent presence and bait application. The property has an extensive history of plumbing and water-related issues, with multiple service requests in 2025 alone, including slow leaks and water supply problems. Other maintenance concerns have included door and window problems, flooring issues, and various appliance malfunctions.

There are three active violations related to failure to file required external low-pressure inspections (issued April 2023 and September 2024). The building's history shows some attempts at improvement, as evidenced by the closure of several complaints between April and May 2025, though many issues remain unresolved as of June 2025. While bedbug reports indicate minimal infestation history with no recent cases, the building's ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly regarding water leaks and pest control, suggest persistent habitability concerns.
