29 Willow Street, Brooklyn, NY 11201

29 Willow Street is a 5-story, 10-unit residential building located in Brooklyn Heights, built in 1887 and currently owned by Polley Sheeran. The property has experienced several notable issues in recent years, with the most significant being a currently active Housing Maintenance Code violation from April 2024 regarding the failure to file the required annual bedbug report. The building's structural integrity has been under monitoring as of early 2025, with a February 2025 violation noting concerns about exterior wall conditions, low parapet wall disrepair, non-conforming roof work, and mortar issues between buildings, requiring the owner to submit a corrective action plan.

Recent complaints in June 2025 regarding falling debris led to a partial stop work order. Between 2019-2021, the building faced serious health and safety violations related to illegal transient use, including lack of fire alarm systems and means of egress, resulting in fines totaling $10,250, though these violations have since been resolved. The building has a mixed history of pest control response, with rodent-related complaints in 2019 and 2020 showing varying conditions, though recent inspections in 2020, 2015, 2013, and most recent filings indicate no active infestations.

Bedbug reporting from 2019-2023 shows zero infested units, though there have been repeated violations for failure to file the required reports. Multiple Department of Buildings inspections between 2024-2025 have generally resulted in "No Violation Warranted" findings, though there have been some inspection results requiring further action. The building's age and location appear to be contributing factors to the ongoing need for compliance monitoring, though many historical violations have been resolved. The most recent building-related issues involve structural concerns and administrative compliance matters, rather than pressing health or safety violations.
