2432 Webb Avenue, Bronx, NY 10468

The 28-unit, 5-story tenement building at 2432 Webb Avenue in Kingsbridge, which dates back to 1922, has experienced numerous maintenance issues in recent months, with multiple complaints logged between March and May 2025. Most concerning are the recent complaints regarding safety, including smoke detector issues and sanitation problems involving pests, both of which resulted in HPD being unable to complete inspections.

There have been multiple instances of plumbing problems, including radiator and sink issues, as well as concerns about flooring and plaster/paint conditions, particularly in ceilings, which have generated several violation notices throughout 2024-2025. The building has also faced specific apartment issues, such as an infestation of roaches in Apartment 3E (December 2024), bathroom mold, and plumbing problems, along with safety concerns like an uncapped gas line in Apartment 2A and fire escape obstructions. The property has undergone various inspections and maintenance interventions over the past year, including violations noted for ceiling conditions in multiple apartments (February-March 2025), a failed rodent inspection in June 2024, and issues relating to garbage storage, fire escape maintenance, and missing signage in June 2025.

While the building has maintained a zero-record of bedbug incidents in recent years (2019-2024), it is important to note that several maintenance requests have been closed due to lack of access for inspection, particularly regarding plumbing, flooring, and plaster issues. The building's ownership, under David Tennenbaum, has faced multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations, with some issues being categorized as emergency situations, particularly concerning plumbing and safety. Recent HPD interventions have resulted in violation notices, though the property owner has been given time to address these issues according to housing regulations.
