Augrented Insights Report for 470 Willoughby Avenue

470 Willoughby Avenue is a three-story, four-unit converted Class A residential building in Bedford-Stuyvesant, built in 1931 and currently owned by Hershy Silberstein. The property has experienced significant maintenance and safety issues, particularly evident in 2019 when multiple emergency complaints were filed regarding heat and hot water outages, unsanitary conditions including pests, plumbing problems, and safety concerns related to smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.

More recent developments in 2025 are concerning, as the building is currently subject to active violations related to unauthorized construction, including a potentially unsafe three-story metal frame extension at exposure #3, and the installation of a fence exceeding permitted height requirements. The property has a documented history of rodent activity, with multiple inspections showing persistent rat presence between 2022 and 2025, though a bedbug report filed in January 2025 states no current infestations.

Various Housing Maintenance Code violations have been recorded over the years, including issues with heat/hot water systems, window frames, pest control, and safety equipment, most of which were closed without proper resolution. The building's recent history shows ongoing structural concerns and non-compliance with building regulations, as evidenced by multiple "work without permit" violations and a "full stop work order" issued in June 2025, though some complaints were unsubstantiated based on department records.
