828 Willoughby Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11206

Located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, 828 Willoughby Avenue is a two-family, two-story building constructed in 1987, currently owned by Jia Wen Chen. The property has experienced several notable incidents throughout its history, with the most significant occurring in April 2019 when both units simultaneously reported heat and hot water issues affecting the entire building.

These complaints, classified as emergencies, were initially problematic for inspection access, though HPD documentation noted they were duplicate reports of an ongoing condition. The building also underwent some plumbing-related challenges in early 2019, including a stop work order and subsequent violations concerning a suspended master plumber's license, though these issues were ultimately resolved by mid-2019. Since those incidents, the building has maintained a relatively stable record, with no major complaints or violations reported in recent years.

Regular rodent inspections between 2021 and 2025 show consistent compliance, with the most recent inspections in 2024 and 2025 passing without issue. Notably, there was one failure during a September 2022 inspection for "Other Reasons," though specific details were not documented in the provided data. The building had one plumbing complaint in August 2018, which generated some follow-up activity but was resolved by May 2019.
