1895 Walton Avenue, Bronx, NY 10453

The 31-unit, 5-story New Law Tenement building at 1895 Walton Avenue in Mount Hope, built in 1922 and currently owned by NCV Hope LLC, has experienced persistent heating and sanitation issues over the past three years. Most notably, from January 2025 to May 2025 alone, there have been multiple emergency heat/hot water complaints, including two from May 2025 that remain unresolved as of the most recent data. The building has also faced significant rodent and pest challenges, with open Class C violations as of late 2024 for mouse and roach infestations in apartments 1A, 1C, and 3A.

Earlier complaints from 2022 and 2024 documents persistent maintenance issues, including mold problems in apartment 5C and various plumbing concerns. Historical data reveals a pattern of infrastructure and sanitation problems, including multiple heating system failures, with the most recent boiler-related complaint recorded in 2021. The building has undergone several inspections and received multiple violations related to pest control, unsanitary conditions, and maintenance requirements between 2018 and 2023.

While the building's management has received some regulatory scrutiny—evident from multiple Department of Buildings violations and ECB fines regarding improper permit usage and appliance venting—the recent rodent inspections in 2025 showed passing compliance. The property has maintained a record of addressing bedbug incidents promptly, with zero infestations reported in the past three years. The building's permit history from 2019 to 2020 indicates regular maintenance and attempted improvements, though the persistent nature of the heating and sanitation complaints suggests ongoing systemic issues.
