121 Webster Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11230

The three-story, six-unit building at 121 Webster Avenue in Kensington, owned by Yitzchok Twersky, has experienced several maintenance issues in recent months. In March 2025, multiple complaints were filed and inspected by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), including issues with electrical outlets/switches, lighting problems, plumbing concerns with radiators, wall conditions (paint/plaster), floor issues, and a concerning pest infestation. While most of these complaints were closed without violations, the pest issue resulted in HPD issuing violations that the owner is required to address.

The building's maintenance history shows recurring themes of administrative compliance issues, with three separate violations in previous years (2021-2023) regarding failure to file the required annual bedbug reports, though more recent bedbug filings in 2025, 2024, and 2021 indicate no reported infestations during those periods. A rodent inspection in 2014 passed, suggesting previous infestations were addressed. While the building has had ongoing maintenance issues, most recent complaints have been resolved relatively quickly, though with the notable exception of the current pest violation that requires correction.

The property, constructed in 1932 and classified as a New Law Tenement, has experienced various maintenance challenges over the years, with the most recent cluster of complaints in March 2025 representing the most significant recent issues. These included problems with lighting, electrical systems, plumbing, flooring, wall conditions, and pest control. While many of these issues were resolved promptly through HPD inspections, the persisting pest violation from March 2025 stands out as a notable concern. The building's historical records show periodic violations related to bedbug reporting requirements between 2021 and 2023, though subsequent filings suggest compliance with this requirement since 2024.
