496 Willoughby Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11206

The three-story, three-unit residential building at 496 Willoughby Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, constructed in 1899 and currently owned by Tricia Gordon-adams, has experienced recurring issues with both rodent activity and bedbug reporting compliance over the past several years. Most notably, there are three open Housing Maintenance Code violations (from 2022, 2023, and 2024) related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD regulations, though a completed report from 2021 indicated no infested units during the 2019-2020 reporting period.

The building has undergone several rodent inspections in recent years, with the most recent inspections in March 2025 showing rat activity, though there were also passed inspections in September 2024 and 2023. The property's maintenance record shows consistent rodent inspection activity, with most inspections passing but some indicating rat activity, particularly in 2025.

Building permits from the Department of Buildings show regular maintenance activities, with permits issued in 2018, 2020, and 2022, all under the same job number (321052034) for plumbing work. These permits suggest ongoing infrastructure maintenance over the past several years, though specific details about the work performed are not included in the summary. The combination of rodent activity and bedbug reporting compliance issues indicates that while the building undergoes regular maintenance, there are persistent challenges affecting resident comfort and safety that require continued attention.
