2243 Walton Avenue, Bronx, NY 10453

The two-family house at 2243 Walton Avenue in Fordham, owned by Gwendolyn Simms, is a two-story building constructed in 1901. The most significant cluster of issues occurred in October 2022, when multiple complaints were filed regarding various building conditions including heat/hot water problems (both building-wide and apartment-specific), electrical issues with no lighting, and multiple concerns regarding doors/windows and wall conditions.

While one heat/hot water complaint was resolved on the same day it was reported, several other complaints remained uninspected due to access issues, including additional heat/hot water concerns, lighting problems, and multiple paint/plaster and door/window issues. These complaints were subsequently closed, with some designated as emergency situations.

Since those 2022 issues, the building has undergone regular rodent inspections, all of which have passed, with the most recent inspection occurring in May 2025. The property has maintained a consistent record of passing these inspections, with annual checks conducted in 2024, 2023, 2022, 2021, 2020, and 2019. While the building experienced some notable maintenance issues in October 2022, there have been no recorded complaints or violations in the past two years (as of July 2025), and the property has demonstrated compliance with rodent control requirements through consistent passing inspections.
