49 Webster Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11230

49 Webster Avenue is a three-story, three-unit residential building located in Borough Park, constructed in 1910 and currently owned by Jay Rawicki.

The property has experienced recurring issues with non-compliance regarding annual bedbug reporting, with open Class A violations noted in HPD inspections from 2021 through 2024, indicating an ongoing failure to comply with mandatory housing maintenance code requirements. In 2018, the building underwent significant inspection activity, particularly affecting the third-floor apartment, where multiple violations were documented and later closed, including issues with mold (specifically in the bathroom), defective plaster surfaces and paint in both the kitchen and bathroom, and electrical service deficiencies throughout the apartment.

The building also required corrections to fire safety systems, including the removal of obstructing bars or unlawful gates from windows to the fire escape, and improvements to self-closing door mechanisms. The most recent inspections have primarily focused on bedbug reporting compliance, suggesting this has become the most pressing maintenance issue in recent years, though it should be noted that these violations, while serious, are primarily administrative in nature compared to the more diverse and safety-related issues present in 2018.
