78 Webster Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11230

78 Webster Avenue is a 4-story, 32-unit New Law tenement building constructed in 1930, currently owned by Murat Ljesnjanin. The building's maintenance history shows several pressing concerns, most notably a recurring pattern of safety and sanitation issues.

In early 2025, multiple safety complaints were filed regarding non-functional carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, and broken window guards, though HPD was unable to complete inspections of these complaints. A series of violations from September 2024 focused on Apartment C5, including mold, plumbing issues, and various problems with walls and ceilings. The inspection revealed issues with pests, including roaches and mice, as well as problems with the bathroom fixtures and water systems, though many of these violations were subsequently addressed and certified as corrected by late 2024.

The building's recent history also includes a bedbug infestation reported in December 2024, though it was noted as having been eradicated. Earlier inspections had shown compliance with rodent control standards as of 2015 and 2013, with only one initial inspection in 2013 resulting in a failure for "Other Reasons". The building's maintenance record indicates ongoing challenges with basic safety systems and sanitation, though there have been periods of improvement, as evidenced by the certification of several violations as corrected in late 2024.
