2356 Walton Avenue, Bronx, NY 10468

2356 Walton Avenue is a 5-story, 34-unit residential building constructed in 1921, currently owned by New Fordham Hdfc. The property has experienced frequent heating and hot water system issues throughout 2025, with multiple emergency complaints filed between January and March 2025, including building-wide outages and individual unit problems. December 2024 inspection results revealed Class C violations in Apartment 2 for inadequate heat and hot water, as well as pest infestations, while violations for fire safety equipment were noted in Apartment 3.

The building's boiler system has also been a recurring concern, with multiple complaints and an active Environmental Control Board violation from February 2024 regarding safety issues and missing components, along with a penalty of $625. Recent rodent inspections in 2024 and 2025 showed passing results, though there was evidence of rat activity noted in several previous inspections throughout 2022-2023. The property has faced various maintenance challenges in recent years, including unsanitary conditions with pests (as documented in March 2025), water leaks, and issues with paint and plaster.

Compliance inspections have revealed ongoing problems with heating systems, building access, and safety equipment, particularly regarding smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors. While the building has shown improvement in bedbug management, with all recent reports showing zero infested units, the heating system remains a significant concern. The property has also experienced difficulties with access for inspections, as noted in several complaint resolutions where inspectors were unable to gain entry. A 2024 inspection flagged issues with the building's fire escape system, and multiple complaints regarding illegal work or changes in occupancy use have been filed with the Department of Buildings, though these could not be verified due to access issues.
