1973 Webster Avenue, Bronx, NY 10457

1973 Webster Avenue is an 8-story, 171-unit Class A residential building located in the Tremont neighborhood, owned by David Beer and completed in 2016. The building has experienced persistent maintenance issues, particularly with pest control and sanitation, as evidenced by multiple HPD complaints in 2024-2025 regarding unsanitary conditions and pest infestations. Notably, there are currently two open violations from June 2025 related to these ongoing pest issues.

Other significant maintenance concerns include safety equipment violations in apartment 605 (missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors), electrical issues, and plumbing problems. There is an open violation from December 2024 regarding window guard safety, and multiple attempts to inspect various complaints have been unsuccessful, indicating potential access issues for inspectors. The building's elevator system has been a recurring concern, with multiple complaints and two active complaints as of January 2025 regarding "Multiple Devices on Property". An ECB violation from April 2023 resulted in a $625 penalty for an out-of-service elevator in the lobby.

The property has also had several inspections for rodent activity, with a failed inspection in September 2024 and previous rat activity noted in March 2023. While bedbug reports show no infestations since 2021, the building has a history of pest control problems. Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2024 reveal various maintenance issues, including a broken entrance door, accumulation of refuse in the compactor area, and multiple instances of unsanitary conditions. The building's history also includes concerns about heat and hot water systems, with complaints in late 2024 suggesting these systems require monitoring, though reports indicated restoration of service during inspections.
