2205 Walton Avenue, Bronx, NY 10453

2205 Walton Avenue is a 6-story, 31-unit residential building constructed in 1925, currently owned by German Gonzalez. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water system issues, with four emergency complaints filed between February 2025 and December 2024 reporting problems in the entire building, though HPD was unable to gain access for inspections in some cases. Other notable incidents include a series of September 2024 complaints regarding unsanitary conditions (mold), door issues, and wall conditions, as well as an appliance problem involving the refrigerator in June 2024.

The building has had several violations requiring attention, including in August 2024 when violations were issued for fire safety concerns in the 5th floor public hall and in April 2024 regarding fire escape accessibility. Previous violations from late 2022 showed concerning conditions in apartment D3, including inadequate heat and hot water supply, visible mold, and issues with window guards and bathroom plaster. The Department of Buildings issued three violations in 2022-2023 regarding failure to file energy benchmarking reports, though these were ultimately dismissed.

Recent rodent inspections show consistent passing results, with only one "Rat Activity" finding in November 2022. The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with all annual reports from 2018 through 2024 showing zero infested units. The property has undergone various repairs and maintenance work as evidenced by closed violations, including corrections to heat and hot water issues when reported, though the pattern of repeated complaints suggests ongoing system challenges. The building's inhabitable condition monitoring includes regular rodent inspections, all confirming acceptable standards except for the one noted exception.
