2793 Webb Avenue, Bronx, NY 10468

The 13-unit, 2-story residential building at 2793 Webb Avenue in Kingsbridge, owned by Yoel Shaffer, has experienced significant maintenance issues throughout 2025. In recent months, there have been multiple complaints regarding unsanitary conditions (including mold), heat/hot water issues, and plumbing problems, particularly with toilets and water supply. Notably, HPD inspections were often unable to be completed due to lack of access, though some violations were documented, particularly related to inadequate heat or hot water.

The building has also shown persistent challenges with rodent control, failing initial inspections in 2024 and 2022, though passing more recent inspections. Additional safety concerns were documented in 2024, including violations related to fire safety and building signage requirements, though these were later certified as corrected. The Department of Buildings records show two significant incidents: an electrical wiring violation in July 2023 that resulted in a penalty of $1,600, and a COVID-19-related construction violation in August 2020 with a $5,000 penalty.

The building's recent maintenance pattern indicates ongoing issues with basic services and building systems, particularly regarding heating and plumbing infrastructure. The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in the past three years, and has generally passed rodent inspections when conducted. Multiple 311 service requests related to various maintenance issues have been filed, particularly focusing on heat, hot water, mold, and plumbing systems, suggesting ongoing challenges with building maintenance and tenant access for inspections.
