2400 Walton Avenue, Bronx, NY 10468

2400 Walton Avenue is a 5-story, 47-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1922, currently owned by Jorge Ruiz. The building has experienced significant maintenance challenges in 2025, with multiple complaints and violations emerging throughout the year. Most concerning are recurring sewage issues, window safety concerns, and numerous maintenance complaints regarding windows, flooring, and pest problems.

The building has documented lead paint hazards in apartment 3B that require correction, along with several safety and maintenance issues that were either not properly addressed or required multiple follow-up inspections. The property's history reveals serious structural concerns that emerged in 2022, including a collapsed brick parapet and compromised facade conditions that necessitated emergency attention. Multiple violations regarding carbon monoxide detectors and smoke alarm compliance were found in 2024, though some were eventually resolved.

The building has a documented history of rodent activity, with inspections showing consistent rat presence throughout 2024 and into 2025, though recent inspections have passed. While the building has undergone various repairs and addressed some violations, the persistent pattern of maintenance issues raises questions about overall building management and upkeep. A pattern of unaddressed violations regarding window guards, pests, and water issues is particularly notable, though most recent complaints have not resulted in official violations being issued. The building's bedbug history shows minimal recent infestations, with only two units affected in one year (2019-2020) out of seven years of reporting, suggesting effective eradication measures have been implemented when needed.
