2327 Walton Avenue, Bronx, NY 10468

Located in Fordham, Bronx, 2327 Walton Avenue is a 4-story, 17-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1926, currently owned by Brian Lefkowitz. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past two years, with the most recent being a heating and hot water complaint in May 2024, though HPD was unable to gain access for inspection. In late 2023, there was a power outage incident, and earlier that year, multiple complaints were filed regarding various issues including water leaks (heavy flow), paint/plaster problems, and door/window concerns, all of which were investigated but resulted in no violations being issued.

The building underwent an inspection in November 2023, revealing multiple violations including security and door-related issues, such as the presence of an illegal electromagnetic locking device and problems with the self-closing door in apartment 4C. Additional violations were found in apartment 1A, including concerns with plumbing, plaster surfaces, and missing safety devices. The property has maintained a generally good record regarding pest control, with no bedbug infestations reported in the most recent filings from 2022 to 2025.

A single rodent activity instance was recorded in May 2023, but subsequent inspections in 2023, 2024, and 2025 showed the building passed rodent inspections, suggesting improved conditions. Historical records show a complaint about egress issues in December 2020, but no violations were found at that time. The extensive nature of maintenance complaints in 2023-2024, combined with the heating/hot water issues reported in 2024, indicate ongoing challenges with building systems and maintenance, though most recent violations have been properly certified as corrected. The building's age and history as a New Law Tenement suggest it carries typical challenges associated with older NYC buildings, though recent inspections indicate improved compliance with rodent control requirements.
