1857 Walton Avenue, Bronx, NY 10453

1857 Walton Avenue is a 5-story, 44-unit residential building constructed in 1922, currently owned by Neighborhood Renewal HDFC. The property has experienced recurring issues with heating and plumbing systems throughout 2025, with multiple tenant complaints about heat/hot water and water supply problems - particularly notable is the building-wide heating and water supply issues reported in March 2025.

The building's boiler systems have been a persistent concern, with numerous complaints about defective or inoperative boilers between 2019 and 2025, including active ECB violations from 2024 citing issues with boiler gaskets, exposed wiring, and leaking tubes. Multiple housing maintenance code violations remain open as of late 2024, including concerns about fire escape functionality, water leaks, and pest infestations in certain apartments.

The building has faced challenges with rodent activity, as evidenced by multiple compliance inspections throughout 2024-2025, though recent bedbug filings show no reported infestations. Additionally, the property has several open Environmental Control Board violations related to boiler maintenance and building maintenance standards, as well as multiple outstanding violations for failure to file required energy benchmarking reports. While there have been some violations that were properly closed, including those related to window guards and various maintenance issues, the frequency and nature of the ongoing complaints suggest persistent building system challenges that affect resident comfort and safety.
