708 Willoughby Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11206
708 Willoughby Avenue is a three-story, four-unit old law tenement building constructed in 1931 in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Eial Girtz. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues, particularly evident in 2019 when multiple violations were documented during a March 12 inspection, including concerns about fire safety (obstructed fire escape windows in Apartment 2), structural integrity (rotted support beam in the cellar), and various code compliance matters.
These violations led to Environmental Control Board actions in 2019, including fines totaling $4,405 for failing to maintain the building in a code-compliant manner, particularly at the cellar level where major wooden support beams were found to be split and rotted. Recent records show an ongoing rodent issue, with inspections in 2025 (July and June) indicating rat activity, though previous inspections in 2024 showed "Passed" results in December and June. The building's bedbug management record appears to be exemplary, with no reported infestations or eradications in any of the annual filings from 2021 through 2024.
Multiple safety-related violations from 2019 remain of note, including the need to post proper notices regarding carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detector requirements, and gas leak procedures. The most recent bedbug report from December 2024 shows zero infested units, suggesting effective pest management. However, the building's recent rodent activity patterns in 2025 indicate continued challenges with vermin control, despite the application of bait in multiple instances.
