663 Willoughby Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11206

The three-story, three-unit family house at 663 Willoughby Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, currently owned by Frank Lang, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years. Most recently, in early 2025, there were complaints about plumbing and door issues, as well as concerns about heat and hot water, though HPD inspectors were unable to gain access to verify these problems.

During late 2024, the building faced multiple unresolved inspections related to safety concerns (smoke detectors), electric issues (outlets/switches), plumbing problems (toilets), and pest control, as well as an earlier complaint about heat and hot water that was reportedly resolved upon inspection. The property has shown some positive aspects in terms of pest management, with consistent records of no bedbug infestations reported between 2020 and 2023, and the most recent rodent inspection in April 2025 showing a passed result after earlier inspections in 2024 and 2023 had noted rat activity.

The building has an interesting history of maintenance inspections, with multiple issues documented between 2020 and 2025 across various categories including plumbing, safety, and sanitary conditions. While two paint/plaster-related complaints from April 2023 were resolved with no violations, the recurring nature of the heating, plumbing, and various maintenance issues suggests ongoing challenges with building upkeep. The most recent bedbug report filed in December 2023 confirmed zero units with infestation, eradication, or re-infestation during the specified period, indicating effective pest management protocols in place.
