275 Webster Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11230

Located in the Kensington neighborhood of Brooklyn, 275 Webster Avenue is a six-story, 88-unit Class A residential building constructed in 1964 and currently owned by David Maltby. The building has experienced recurring plumbing and electrical issues over the past two years, with multiple complaints regarding wiring problems, heavy water leaks, and plumbing concerns.

Notably, there was a significant water leak reported in early 2024 that took several months to address due to access issues. The property currently has several open housing maintenance code violations from a May 2024 inspection, including problems with fire-retardant plaster in the first-story ceiling and defective self-closing doors at the fifth-story trash compactor and chute, although these are not classified as immediately hazardous. The building has maintained an active bedbug reporting history since 2019, with the most recent reports (2024-2025) showing no infested units, suggesting effective pest management practices.

Recent inspections have also consistently passed rodent inspections, though a rat sighting was reported and investigated in May 2024, which resulted in a passed inspection with no violations found. While the building has had numerous maintenance issues requiring attention, including various electrical and plumbing problems documented through both 311 complaints and Housing Maintenance Code complaints, the property has generally addressed these issues through the appropriate channels, though access-related delays have occurred in some cases. The building's history shows a pattern of electrical, plumbing, and water-related maintenance issues, with recent violations primarily affecting common areas rather than individual units.
