303 Webster Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11230

303 Webster Avenue is a 6-story, 41-unit Class A residential building constructed in 1930, currently owned by Joseph Spitzer. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, particularly regarding heating and water systems. Most notably, a 2024 violation was issued for scalding hot water exceeding 130 degrees Fahrenheit in apartment 1D, and multiple complaints about heat and hot water problems were recorded in late 2024.

The building has also faced challenges with sanitation and maintenance, including mold issues (violations issued in 2024) and various building system problems such as an ECB violation in 2022 detailing multiple system defects including lighting, door issues, vent problems, and safety concerns. The property has a history of pest management issues, with bedbug infestations recorded in 2018-2020, though no infestations have been reported in recent filings from 2022-2025. The building's infrastructure shows some recurring problems, including an unresolved dog-related complaint from 2020, and electrical issues noted in 2019 that the HPD was unable to inspect.

Historical data indicates several attempts to investigate possible illegal conversions between 2021-2022, though inspectors were unable to gain access on multiple occasions. Despite these challenges, the building has passed recent rodent inspections (most recent January 2025) and shows no current bedbug infestation reportable units. The property has experienced consistent issues requiring attention to both common areas and individual units, with various emergency and non-emergency complaints needing resolution over the past several years.
