119 Webster Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11230

119 Webster Avenue in Kensington is a 3-story New Law tenement building constructed in 1936, currently owned by Sender Rosen. The building has experienced persistent administrative issues over the past several years, with multiple open violations related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports from 2021 through 2024. Between 2019 and 2023, there was a significant pattern of violations regarding the failure to file required external low-pressure inspections and boiler inspection reports, though these violations were ultimately dismissed.

The property underwent extensive work during 2019-2021, which generated several complaints about unauthorized work and safety concerns, including issues with scaffolding, safety netting, and unauthorized construction in an occupied building. These complaints led to multiple Environmental Control Board violations, including a notable $5,000 penalty for failing to safeguard persons and property during construction, though this penalty was resolved. The building's recent history shows improved compliance with most regulations, as evidenced by the issuance of multiple permits in 2023 for plumbing and electrical work, including permits issued on June 15, 2023, indicating active maintenance and improvement efforts.

While the persistent bedbug reporting violations remain open as of April 2024, the overall pattern of dismissed violations suggests that the property management has generally addressed compliance issues when they arise. The property underwent rodent inspections in 2014, receiving a passing grade in October following an initial failure in July of that year, indicating previous pest control challenges. The building's history reflects a typical urban property experience, with a mix of maintenance, compliance, and regulatory issues, though the most recent permits suggest active management of the property.
