527 Willoughby Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11206

At 527 Willoughby Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, the three-story, three-unit residential building owned by Sylvia Miranda has experienced several significant issues over the past few years, most notably concerning rodent activity and regulatory compliance. The property has undergone multiple rodent inspections between 2022 and 2025, with recent patterns showing some ongoing challenges with rat activity, particularly in 2023-2024 when multiple inspections resulted in either rat activity or required bait application.

While the most recent inspections in 2025 and late 2024 passed, they followed periods of concerning findings. The building's regulatory history reveals some significant compliance issues, particularly regarding bedbug reporting requirements.

Between 2021 and 2024, the property received four Housing Maintenance Code violations related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports, though subsequent filings for the periods ending in 2022, 2023, and 2024 indicated no recorded infestations, suggesting these violations were not related to active infestations. Additionally, there are two active Environmental Control Board violations from 2021-2024 related to unpermitted work in the cellar, with an associated penalty of $2,500 (one violation for work without permit and another for failure to comply with the Commissioner's order), though the balance due is currently listed as $1250. The building has maintained its classification as "Heretofore Converted Class A," indicating its status as a converted multiple dwelling.
