2196 Walton Avenue, Bronx, NY 10453

2196 Walton Avenue, a 4-unit, 4-story residential building constructed in 2004 in the Fordham neighborhood, is owned by Mohammed Rashid and has experienced recurring housing maintenance challenges over the past several years. Most notably, the building has accumulated multiple violations related to bedbug reporting requirements between 2021 and 2024, with open violations recorded in 2023, 2024, and most recently in April 2024, all citing non-compliance with the mandatory annual bedbug report filing requirements as per NYC Housing Maintenance Code.

While the building's official bedbug report for the 2019-2020 period showed no infestations, the ongoing violation pattern suggests continued oversight in this area. Rodent control inspections present a mixed picture of the building's maintenance record. Between 2022 and 2025, the property underwent regular rodent inspections, with six consecutive passes from November 2022 through May 2025.

However, there were two notable issues: a failed inspection in May 2022 (though the specific reasons are not detailed in the records) and a compliance inspection in June 2022 that revealed rat activity. Following these incidents, the building appears to have achieved consistent compliance with rodent control requirements, passing all subsequent inspections through 2025. The property, which has been under the same ownership since construction, continues to show particular challenges with maintaining compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, while demonstrating improved responsiveness to rodent control issues in recent years.
