2408 Webster Avenue, Bronx, NY 10458

2408 Webster Avenue is a 4-story, 8-unit residential building constructed in 1909, currently owned by Webster Ice LLC. The property has experienced numerous maintenance issues in recent years, with the most significant concerns revolving around heat and hot water systems, electrical problems, and pest infestations. In 2025, there was a notable power outage in June, while in late 2024, the building suffered from heat and hot water issues affecting both individual apartments and the entire building.

Multiple Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) complaints in October 2024 regarding paint/plaster conditions, sanitary issues, and wall problems could not be inspected by HPD, though inspections in August 2024 did reveal violations related to water leaks and ceiling conditions. The building's unit 4N has been identified with several violations as of December 2024, including issues with mold, pests (including roaches and mice), and multiple defective safety equipment concerns (smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector). The property has a documented history of rodent activity, with multiple inspections between 2023-2025 consistently showing evidence of rats.

The building's mechanical systems have also faced scrutiny, with a 2020 boiler inspection noting multiple issues including a defective barometric damper and excessive soot. While the building has passed recent bedbug inspections and shows no infestations, the ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly regarding basic services like heat and hot water, as well as the recurring rodent issues, suggest ongoing challenges with building upkeep. The Department of Buildings records indicate some historical violations related to unauthorized work and failure to comply with correction orders, though these appear to have been resolved or addressed through penalties.
