420 Bolton Avenue, Bronx, NY 10473

The three-unit, three-story residential building at 420 Bolton Avenue in Clason Point, constructed in 1970, has experienced several maintenance and facility issues over the past five years that warrant attention. Most notably, there have been recurring concerns with heat and hot water systems, with multiple complaints recorded in 2020, 2021, and 2022 indicating either complete or partial outages affecting various units. The building has also faced significant pest management challenges, particularly in late 2020 when violations were issued for roach infestations in both the 3rd-floor apartments, with an outstanding violation as of October 2020. Issues with windows and ventilation systems were documented in 2020, including multiple violations related to broken window panes and window balances.

More recent maintenance concerns include plumbing issues in September 2023 (resolved quickly within three days) and an electric/gas range complaint in September 2023 that was inspected but resulted in no violations. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of reactive rather than preventative maintenance, with multiple emergency service requests for heat/hot water and plumbing problems. While recent bedbug reports from 2021 through 2025 indicate no infestations during the specified periods, the building has a documented history of pest control challenges. The property has undergone several permit issuances between 2021 and 2024, though the specific nature of the permitted work is not detailed in the available data.

A complaint regarding illegal conversion was recorded in October 2020, though access was denied for inspection. The building's recent maintenance record shows some improvement, with no documented infestations in the past three years (2022-2025) and prompt response to recent plumbing issues. However, the recurring nature of heat/hot water and pest management issues suggests ongoing challenges with building systems and maintenance protocols. The property has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, showing no infestations since 2020, though inspections in 2017 through 2018 for rodent control consistently failed for unspecified reasons, indicating a historical pattern of pest management challenges.
