1241 Webster Avenue, Bronx, NY 10456

The 16-unit, 4-story tenement building at 1241 Webster Avenue in Concourse Village, owned by Martin Dunn, has experienced recurring maintenance issues since its construction in 1929, with particular concerns around heating systems and sanitation. Most recently, in early 2025, there was a building-wide heat and hot water issue that was promptly resolved. The building has a documented pattern of heat-related complaints, with five emergencies reported between 2021-2022, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building.

Other significant recent issues include a September 2024 violation for unsanitary garbage/recycling storage, and multiple rodent activity reports between 2022-2024, though a February 2025 inspection passed. The building has regularly filed bedbug reports from 2019 through 2024, consistently showing no infested units. Multiple building-wide violations were documented in late 2024, including issues with self-closing doors and sanitation standards, though many of these have since been marked as closed. Of particular note is a current open violation as of late 2024 affecting apartment 3B, regarding water leaks and damaged plaster in the bathroom.

The building's inspection history shows a mix of compliance and violation outcomes, with several inspections passing while others noted rat activity. A notable pattern emerges from the heating system issues, with multiple reports indicating tenants experiencing lack of heat and hot water, though many were resolved quickly following HPD intervention. The property has undergone various inspections and received multiple notices related to sanitation and maintenance requirements, indicating ongoing monitoring by housing authorities. While the building appears to be actively maintaining compliance with several housing requirements, the recurring nature of heat-related complaints and recent violations suggests ongoing infrastructure and maintenance challenges.
