442 Willoughby Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11205
The three-unit, three-story building at 442 Willoughby Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Jessica & Mark Tallman, has experienced several significant events since 2021 that warrant attention. Most notably, in April 2021, HPD identified serious fire safety violations in the second-floor apartment, resulting in an immediately hazardous violation requiring continuous fire guard coverage. These violations included the removal of fire-retardant materials from ceilings and walls, though records show these related violations were eventually resolved with associated penalties totaling $875.
The building has also faced consistent issues with bedbug reporting compliance from 2021-2024, though recent filings show zero infested units during the 2022-2023 and 2023-2024 reporting periods. There were multiple attempts to inspect the property for Local Law 188/17 compliance in 2022, 2023, and 2024, with inspectors being unable to gain access. Notably, in April 2021, work was performed without proper permits in the second-floor unit, including the removal of subflooring and plumbing fixtures, though these violations were resolved by December 2021. More recently, the building has maintained rodent control compliance, with inspections in 2025 and throughout 2024 showing passed results, though there were two instances of rat activity reported in 2021 and February 2024.
The property is currently subject to an active complaint regarding Local Law 188/17 compliance as of May 2024, which remains unresolved. Bedbug reporting requirements have been met in recent years, with no infested units reported in the most recent filings. While the building has experienced various maintenance and compliance issues over the past four years, most recent inspections indicate improved conditions, particularly in terms of pest control and bedbug management. The building's owners have generally responded to violations, as evidenced by the closure of numerous housing maintenance code violations and the resolution of environmental control board violations related to unauthorized work.
