2798 Webb Avenue, Bronx, NY 10468

The 17-unit, 5-story residential building at 2798 Webb Avenue in Kingsbridge, owned by Hersh Klein, was completed in 2023 and has experienced several maintenance issues in its first years of operation. Most notably, there have been recurring issues with pests, with at least two unsanitary condition complaints related to pests filed in 2025 alone.

The building has faced multiple plumbing problems, including sink issues in April 2025 and a water supply emergency in June 2025. Additionally, significant maintenance challenges were reported in April 2025, including problems with doors (resulting in violations), windows, heat/hot water systems, and a smoke detector safety issue, though most of these complaints were found not to violate housing laws upon inspection. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of both emergency and non-emergency issues, with several complaints requiring immediate attention, particularly between April and June 2025.

A concerning trend is the inability of HPD to gain access to some apartments during inspections, specifically regarding heat/hot water complaints in April 2025. Despite these challenges, the property has maintained a bedbug-free record according to official filings, with no reported infestations or required eradications in the past two reporting periods (2023-2024 and 2022-2023). While the building is relatively new, these maintenance issues suggest ongoing challenges with building systems and resident comfort that require monitoring.
