2376 Webster Avenue, Bronx, NY 10458

The 8-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement at 2376 Webster Avenue in Fordham, owned by Tyrone Francis and built in 1909, is currently facing multiple ongoing maintenance issues as of April 2025. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water problems, with an emergency heating complaint recorded in April 2025 and another incident affecting the entire building in March 2025, though the latter was determined not to violate HPD housing laws.

There are also persistent maintenance issues, including open complaints regarding window frame defects and wall plaster problems as of April 2025. The building has documented rodent activity, with at least nine inspections from 2023-2025 showing consistent rat presence, though the most recent April 2025 inspection resulted in a failed compliance status for "Other Reasons." Significant health and safety concerns were documented in September 2024, particularly affecting Apartment 1N, which showed multiple violations including mold conditions (both visible and requiring source tracing), evidence of rodent infestation, water leak issues, and problems with peeling paint in various rooms. Additional violations were noted in Apartment 3N regarding plaster surfaces.

The building's infrastructure has shown various system issues, including electrical problems (power outage in March 2025) and unsanitary conditions involving mold and pests in September 2024, which resulted in violations being issued. While there were two complaints regarding the intercom system and wall plaster in February 2025, HPD inspectors were unable to gain access for verification or inspection. Despite these numerous and ongoing issues, the building's most recent Bedbug Reporting (2024) indicated no infestation during the specified period.
