2105 Walton Avenue, Bronx, NY 10453

2105 Walton Avenue is a 56-unit, 5-story New Law Tenement building located in University Heights and built in 1927. The property has experienced ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly with plumbing and water issues, as evidenced by multiple complaints about water leaks (including a heavy flow leak reported in 2023 and a radiator issue in 2024-2025) and emergency responses from the Housing Maintenance Code.

The building's safety systems have also required attention, with recent concerns about smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and window guards all requiring inspection in late 2023, though no violations were issued. Recent inspections (2025) have identified rat activity as a recurring issue, with multiple compliance inspections noting active rat presence throughout 2024-2025 despite various baiting efforts. The building has faced several significant violations and maintenance issues over the past five years, including problems with heating systems (entire building heat/hot water complaint in 2023), window issues, and multiple instances of exposed wiring that prompted emergency responses.

In 2024, multiple Environmental Control Board violations were noted, including an active penalty related to boiler and smoke stack issues. The property has also had various compliance and maintenance needs documented through Housing Maintenance Code violations, including issues with window guards, plumbing systems, and mold conditions. The building's history shows regular bedbug reporting with consistent zero infestation or eradication cases since 2019, and while it has required various building code compliance updates, including energy efficiency reporting, most recent violations appear to be being addressed through regular inspections and corrective actions.
