2240 Walton Avenue, Bronx, NY 10453

2240 Walton Avenue is an 8-story, 31-unit residential building constructed in 1993, currently owned by Ibsam Martinez. The building has experienced significant recent maintenance issues, particularly in the first half of 2025, with multiple elevator service interruptions and various building system problems. Between March and June 2025, there were ten separate elevator-related complaints regarding single device service and lack of alternate service, resulting in multiple Oath Violations and an active ECB violation with a penalty of $3,155.

Additionally, there were numerous plumbing and heat/hot water emergencies reported in June 2025, and multiple janitorial/superintendent-related violations recorded in May-June 2025. The building has persistent issues in Apartment 805, as evidenced by multiple open violations from a December 2024 inspection, including problems with mold, pests (roaches and mice), water temperature, smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and various maintenance concerns. While the building has consistently passed rodent inspections between 2020-2025 and shows no recorded bedbug infestations in the past six years, the maintenance issues suggest ongoing concerns with building systems and management response.

The property has open architectural violations regarding the elevator system, an expired refundable security deposit balance, and several open DOB violations related to uncorrected previous violations from 2019-2021. Recent complaints and service requests indicate various building maintenance challenges, though many have been resolved through HPD inspections. For example, in June 2025, there were inspections related to unsanitary conditions, general maintenance issues, and missing signage, resulting in some violations being issued that require owner correction. The building's management has demonstrated some responsiveness to violations and service requests, as evidenced by the closure of multiple complaints through inspection processes, though some issues remain unresolved according to current records.
