Augrented Insights Report for 505 Willoughby Avenue

The 3-story, 3-unit residential building at 505 Willoughby Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Morris Meisels and constructed in 1901, has experienced several maintenance and regulatory challenges over the past few years. Most notably, there have been recurring issues with garbage and recycling storage, evidenced by two HPD complaints in 2024 (April and September), with the September complaint resulting in a violation for inadequate waste receptacles.

The building has also faced significant maintenance problems in 2019, including a heat and hot water complaint affecting the entire building, with inspections unable to gain access for verification. More recent concerns include an active Environmental Control Board violation from August 2024 regarding unauthorized exterior alterations of the landmark building, specifically removal of a black iron fence and modification of stone ground and planting areas, with a penalty of $1,250. The property has undergone multiple inspections for rodent activity between 2021 and 2025, achieving passing results most recently in February 2025, though there was one instance of rat activity noted in February 2024.

The building's maintenance history shows regular bedbug reporting compliance, with the most recent report from May 2025 indicating no infested units for the period of November 2023 to October 2024. Several Department of Buildings complaints from 2022-2024 highlight concerns about illegal work, including an August 2024 complaint about illegal demolition work, a 2024 complaint about falling debris, and multiple violations between 2021-2022 regarding work without permits and failure to maintain proper housekeeping. While many earlier violations have been resolved, there appears to be an ongoing pattern of waste management issues and unauthorized work.
