2072 Walton Avenue, Bronx, NY 10453

The two-family, 2-story building at 2072 Walton Avenue in Fordham, currently owned by Samuel Sanchez, has experienced persistent heating system issues throughout 2024-2025, with multiple complaints about lack of heat and hot water affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. Between November 2023 and April 2025, there were at least eight documented incidents of heating problems, with four instances in March 2025 alone.

While many of these complaints were eventually resolved, several required multiple inspection attempts due to lack of access for HPD inspectors. The building has also faced plumbing challenges, particularly in March and April 2025, with emergency complaints regarding toilet issues, though HPD inspections were again hampered by access difficulties. Other notable infrastructure concerns include an open Class C violation from November 2023 regarding defective self-closing doors in the vestibule, and historical issues with window maintenance and security features in Apartment 1B that were documented in 2022.

The property has had several rodent inspections between 2022-2025, with varying results from passing to showing evidence of rat activity, most recently passing in March 2025. A 2022 complaint regarding illegal conversion was recorded but access was denied upon inspection. The building's bedbug history shows one significant infestation period in 2022-2023 with five units affected, though subsequent records from 2023-2024 show no further infestations.
