120 Willoughby Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11205

The three-story, four-unit building at 120 Willoughby Avenue in Clinton Hill, owned by John Alexander, has a complex history spanning several years. Most notably, the property has been consistently cited for failing to file mandatory annual bedbug reports from 2021 through at least April 2024, with all violations marked as open. The building underwent significant activity between 2019-2021, including multiple complaints and violations related to unpermitted construction work, particularly concerning gas and electrical systems.

During this period, there were serious safety concerns documented through Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations, including improper gas line installations that resulted in a $1,250 penalty (though currently showing no balance due). Several immediately hazardous violations were issued for failure to certify corrections, though these were ultimately dismissed. The most recent service request from June 2023 regarding a gas/electric range was resolved by September 2023.

Recent permit activity suggests ongoing maintenance work, with multiple permits issued or in process between 2020 and 2022, including electrical work (EW) permits. The building's 311 service history shows minimal recent complaints, with only the 2023 appliance issue being notable. Prior to this, there were various general complaints about missing signage (2019) and multiple complaints in 2019 regarding unlicensed work and plumbing issues. While many past violations and complaints have been closed or dismissed, the persistent bedbug report violation requires monitoring.
