726 Willoughby Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11206

726 Willoughby Avenue is a two-family house located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, built in 1899 and currently owned by Marcwill Plaza Lp. The property has a documented history of maintenance issues, particularly related to water damage and electrical systems. Between September 2023 and October 2024, multiple complaints were filed regarding water leaks, ceiling damage, and electrical problems, though many of these complaints were inspected and either resulted in no violations or were subsequently addressed.

More concerning are the property's documented code violations from 2022-2023, including issues with electrical systems, ceiling repairs, pest infestations, and various safety concerns such as a loose handrail at public stairs. A significant violation from December 2020 noted illegal occupancy conditions, with the building allegedly converted from a 2-family house into multiple SRO units across its two stories, though this violation was later resolved. The building's recent maintenance history shows some persistent issues, particularly regarding sanitation and pest control.

A September 2024 complaint about garbage storage was investigated but found not to violate housing laws. The property has undergone several rodent inspections between 2022 and 2025, with mixed results showing both rat activity and passed inspections. While there have been no reported bedbug infestations in recent years (2022-2025), the building's general maintenance record suggests ongoing oversight may be required. The property has recently required inspections for various housing code violations and safety features, including carbon monoxide detector compliance, though many historic violations have been certified as corrected.
