36 Willow Place, Brooklyn, NY 11201

36 Willow Place, a four-story, eight-unit building constructed in 1877 in Brooklyn Heights, has experienced recurring heating system issues recently, with emergency heat/hot water complaints filed in both January 2025 and November 2023. The building faced structural challenges in 2020-2021, including complaints about building shaking and vibration, along with a failure to maintain building conditions that resulted in violations served through the Department of Buildings.

Notably, as of May 2024, there are active Environmental Control Board violations regarding building maintenance, including issues with coping and mortar problems on the rear facade documented in April 2021, with penalties totaling $1,875 (though one violation shows a balance of -$1,250). The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with official reports from 2020-2024 showing zero cases, and passed rodent inspections in 2013 and 2015, suggesting appropriate pest management practices.

The building's ownership, under Edward Lubin, was formally converted to Class A status, indicating it is now used as permanent residential housing. Housing Maintenance Code complaints and violations have generally been resolved following inspections, though the persistent heating system issues and the active ECB violations from 2024 indicate ongoing maintenance challenges. The most recent bedbug reports (2022-2024) show consistent handling of pest management protocols, with no infestations reported during these periods.
