Augrented Insights Report for 721 Willoughby Avenue

The 267-unit, 8-story building at 721 Willoughby Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Christopher Bramwell and constructed in 1976, has faced significant maintenance and safety concerns in recent years. Most notably, in May 2025, there were multiple complaints about unsanitary conditions including mold and pest infestations, along with issues related to walls, electric systems, and heating/hot water, though inspections could not be completed due to access issues.

These complaints followed similar problems identified in March 2025 regarding heating and wall conditions. A July 2024 inspection revealed several violations in apartment B10, including issues with peeling paint, pests, electrical outlets, and mold, along with defective fire egress features and safety concerns about self-closing doors.

The building's infrastructure has also faced scrutiny, with active violations related to façade safety, building systems maintenance, and multiple unmet inspection requirements for high/low pressure systems between 2018-2024. While the building has passed recent rodent inspections from 2023-2025 and has shown no bedbug infestations according to the latest reports, the recurring nature of maintenance complaints and the inability to complete inspections in 2025 suggest ongoing challenges with access and maintenance response coordination.
