544 Willoughby Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11206

544 Willoughby Avenue is a 2-story, 3-unit residential building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Hindy Krausz and constructed in 2007. The building's recent history shows consistent monitoring and reporting of pest-related issues, particularly regarding bedbugs and rodent activity.

While the bedbug reporting requirement was violated in 2021-2023 with documented violations in March 2021, March 2022, and March 2023, the subsequent filings (April 2022, March 2023, and March 2024) indicated zero infested units, suggesting improved compliance and eradication efforts. The rodent inspection record presents a more concerning pattern, with multiple instances of rat activity documented between 2022 and 2024. Nearly all initial inspections from February 2022 onward noted rat activity, though several compliance inspections resulted in passing scores, indicating some temporary mitigation of the issue.

Most recently, in February 2025, rodent inspections have shown passing results, suggesting some improvement in pest management practices. Additionally, there was a complaint recorded in April 2023 regarding work without a permit in the occupied building, though inspectors were unable to gain access for verification on their second final attempt. The building's relatively recent construction date of 2007 and its classification as a Class A multiple dwelling suggest it is subject to standard NYC housing maintenance codes and regulations.
