Augrented Insights Report for 222 Willis Avenue

The 8-unit, 5-story Old Law Tenement building at 222 Willis Avenue in Mott Haven, owned by Jacob Soleimani and constructed in 1931, has experienced numerous maintenance issues over the past two years. Most notably, there is an active open violation from December 2024 regarding a defective mortise lock at the building entrance, and several other open violations from October 2024 related to building safety features including doors, fire escape maintenance, and carbon monoxide detection systems. The building has a concerning pattern of water-related issues, with multiple plumbing complaints in March 2025 (including problems with toilets, showers, and water supply), and previous water leak complaints in December 2024.

The boiler system has also been a significant problem, with violations issued in 2023 and 2024 regarding defective components and leakage, resulting in penalties. The property has undergone regular rodent control measures throughout 2024-2025, with multiple instances of rat activity requiring bait application. Numerous housing maintenance code complaints have been filed, particularly in early 2025, suggesting ongoing maintenance challenges. While the building has consistently reported zero bedbug infestations in its annual filings since 2019, the presence of multiple non-emergency violations related to paint/plaster work and sanitation issues raises concerns about overall building maintenance standards.

The Department of Buildings records show several instances of violation enforcement, including two boiler-related matters in 2023 and 2024 that resulted in Oath Violations, and a 2020 incident involving building debris. The building's inspection and violation history indicates persistent maintenance challenges, particularly regarding water infrastructure, security systems, and pest control. While some violations have been resolved, including a 2025 violation regarding proper notice posting, many significant safety-related violations remain open. The property has maintained a consistent record of bedbug-free status over the past five years, and though there have been multiple water-related issues, some complaints have been closed without violations being found.
