2373 Walton Avenue, Bronx, NY 10468

The 2-story residential building at 2373 Walton Avenue in Fordham, owned by Colleen Mcentee and constructed in 2008, has experienced multiple maintenance issues in recent months. From January to February 2025, the property faced several concerning conditions, including multiple heat/hot water complaints (both building-wide and apartment-specific), a water leak, pest infestation, cooking gas issues, and an electrical power outage. While some complaints were resolved through inspections that resulted in violations being issued, others were closed due to HPD's inability to gain access for inspection.

The building has a history of code violations and inspection failures that warrant attention. A comprehensive August 2024 inspection revealed multiple open violations in Apartment 1, including issues with mold in the bathroom, pest infestation (specifically roaches), and multiple problems with safety equipment such as smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors. The building also has three active open violations related to posted safety notices and inspection certificates.

Additionally, there is an ongoing complaint about illegal conversion that has been filed with the Department of Buildings, though inspectors have been unable to gain access to the property for verification. Previous inspections between 2023 and 2025 have shown inconsistent results regarding rodent activity, with several failed inspections indicating ongoing pest control challenges. Records from 2020 also indicate the building was converted from 2 to 5 family units, though this conversion appears to have been contested through subsequent complaints. The building's maintenance history suggests persistent challenges with basic services and infrastructure, particularly regarding heating systems and pest control, though recent rodent inspections indicate some improvements in compliance.
