744 Willoughby Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11206

744 Willoughby Avenue is a 3-story, 4-unit residential building in Bedford-Stuyvesant owned by Erez Levy and constructed in 2016. The property has experienced recurring moisture-related issues, with multiple violations and complaints between 2023-2024 involving mold, water leaks, and damp spots, particularly affecting the bathroom in apartment 3. Recent inspections have confirmed the presence of mold, with a Class C violation issued in February 2024 for a 15-square-inch area on the bathroom ceiling in apartment 3.

The building has also faced various maintenance challenges, including problems with the intercom system (multiple violations), ventilation system issues, and some plumbing concerns. Notably, apartment 2 had an open infestation violation (roaches) from August 2022, which was not resolved by the latest inspection dates. The building's history includes several significant incidents prior to 2025, including three illegal conversion complaints (2018-2020) and a construction-related complaint in 2018, though these were ultimately resolved or found to be without violation.

The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbugs, with no reported infestations in recent years. Recent rodent inspections in 2023-2025 have generally shown compliance, though there was one failure noted in February 2023 for "Other Reasons." The building has undergone regular reporting for bedbug inspections, with all results showing zero infested units. The current maintenance issues primarily revolve around moisture control, building systems (intercom), and general upkeep, with specific focus required on the confirmed mold presence in apartment 3.
