568 Willoughby Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11206

568 Willoughby Avenue is a four-story, six-unit residential building constructed in 1899 in the Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood, currently owned by Chava Oberlander. The building has experienced several notable maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most recent violations occurring in March 2023 related to bedbug reporting requirements, though the building has consistently reported zero infested units in its annual filings since 2020.

The property has a concerning pattern of rodent-related inspections, with two instances of "Rat Activity" documented in early 2024 (February and March), though it passed subsequent inspections in August 2024 and February 2025. Multiple violations were recorded during a January 2018 inspection, including inadequate front entrance lighting, missing gas leak emergency procedures, and a lack of required housing information postings in the public hall, though these issues were eventually certified as corrected in July 2022. The building's bedbug reporting history shows regular compliance, with annual filings indicating no infestations or eradication efforts since 2020.

Rodent inspection results have varied, with most initial inspections passing, though several instances of rat activity were recorded, particularly in 2021 and 2022, suggesting ongoing pest management challenges. While the building's recent bedbug reporting compliance is consistent and indicates no current infestations, the fluctuating rodent activity results indicate this may be an area requiring continued monitoring. The property has maintained regular bedbug reporting and has addressed various maintenance violations over time, though some safety-related postings required by the Housing Maintenance Code were not in place during the 2018 inspection.
