Augrented Insights Report for 479 Willoughby Avenue

The three-story, three-unit building at 479 Willoughby Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, built in 1899 and currently owned by Tyrone Mclean, has faced several significant maintenance and compliance issues in recent years. Most notably, there are open Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2022-2024 regarding the failure to file required annual bedbug reports, and the property has experienced recurring rodent activity, with the most recent inspection in February 2025 passing but showing previous rat activity in November 2024 and multiple months throughout 2024.

The building has also had three notable indoor air quality incidents in 2024, including reports of chemical vapors and construction dust. Recent construction-related issues have been prominent, particularly in 2025, with multiple complaints about work contrary to stop work orders, illegal work, and construction beyond approved plans. Several Department of Buildings complaints in 2025 resulted in violations being issued for failure to obey stop work orders and construction-related infractions.

The property was also the subject of Environmental Control Board violations in 2024, including issues with unsafe scaffold netting and a proposed enlargement, though these were resolved with imposed penalties. Despite these numerous violations and complaints, the building has passed several rodent inspections, indicating some level of attention to pest control, and most other violations have been dismissed or resolved. The building's record shows a consistent pattern of maintenance and compliance challenges, particularly regarding construction activities and pest management, though there have been efforts to address these issues through inspections and fines.
