2242 Webster Avenue, Bronx, NY 10457

2242 Webster Avenue is a 5-story, 25-unit residential building constructed in 1916 and currently managed by 2242 Realty LLC. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues, particularly concerning mold, water damage, and window problems. The most recent complaints from February 2025 involved mold, water leaks, and ceiling issues, though no violations were issued as HPD could not access the affected rooms.

Earlier in 2024, there were multiple reports of mold (including documented violations in January), heating issues, and various maintenance concerns that were either closed with corrections or noted as resolved. The building has had four failed rodent inspections since 2023, with the most recent one in July 2025 showing continued pest management challenges. The property has documented violations related to building safety features, including broken marble treads on stairways and defective self-closing doors, though these were subsequently corrected.

In 2023, there were issues regarding lead-based paint hazard control requirements for apartments 24 and 32 during their vacancy periods. Earlier violations from 2018 involved maintenance issues with piping and safety valves, though these were resolved without penalties. The building's heating and hot water system has experienced multiple complaint investigations, with some requiring repairs in early 2024. Notably, the building has maintained a completely bedbug-free record over the past several years, with no reported infestations or required eradications since 2019, indicating effective pest management in this area.
