817 Willoughby Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11206

The three-unit, three-story building at 817 Willoughby Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Roseann Gaskinrice and constructed in 1899, has experienced several notable incidents affecting resident safety and building maintenance over recent years. Most concerning is an active violation from January 2019 related to a fire incident, and an April 2023 violation for failure to file the 2022 external low-pressure inspection, which remains open as of the latest available data.

The building's history includes a significant sewage-related emergency in September 2022 that prompted intervention from both the Department of Housing Preservation and Development and the Housing Maintenance Code department, though this issue was reportedly resolved. In early 2019, there were multiple Department of Buildings complaints, including a defective/inoperative boiler case in February that resulted in an Oath Violation being served, and a construction-related complaint that was determined to have no violations at the time of inspection.

A violation requiring the installation of approximately 20 linear feet of tight board fencing to address a collapse zone was issued in January 2019 but was dismissed in January 2022 after the relevant declaration was closed. The building's records suggest ongoing maintenance and safety compliance challenges, particularly regarding timely inspection filings and historical fire-related concerns, though some earlier issues have been resolved through proper channels.
