Augrented Insights Report for 237 Willis Avenue

The 8-unit, 5-story residential building at 237 Willis Avenue in Mott Haven, built in 1931 and currently owned by Jimmy Beal, has experienced significant infrastructure and maintenance challenges throughout 2024-2025. Recent service requests and complaints reveal ongoing issues with plumbing and water supply systems, including an open pest infestation case, unsanitary garbage storage concerns, and multiple heat/hot water problems.

Building code enforcement records show persistent rat activity, with multiple baiting operations conducted between March 2024 and October 2024, and an active rodent infestation violation from November 2024. The property has faced structural and safety concerns, including three complaints regarding building shaking/vibrating in early 2025 and multiple facade issues documented in September 2024, with cracked bricks and multiple facade cracks cited as violations.

Violation records indicate several urgent maintenance needs in Apartment 2N, including problems with bathroom tiles, plumbing fixtures, lead paint hazards, and various repairs requiring certification of correction. The building's maintenance history reveals ongoing challenges with compliance and inspection access, as evidenced by multiple "Inspector Unable To Gain Access" outcomes for critical complaints. While the bedbug reporting history shows zero infestations from 2019-2024, the building has accumulated numerous Department of Buildings violations related to plumbing, electrical work, and facade maintenance, with some active violations still pending resolution as of 2025.
