156 Willoughby Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11205
156 Willoughby Avenue is a three-story, four-unit residential building in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn, built in 1880 and currently owned by Jonathan Nelson. The property has faced persistent challenges with rodent issues over the past several years, with documented rat sightings in both January and May 2022, and multiple Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) violations requiring follow-up inspections.
An apparent rodent infestation pattern is evident, with four rodent inspections in 2022 showing mixed results, including rat activity noted in January and June. The building has also accumulated several open Housing Maintenance Code violations related to bedbug reporting requirements between 2021 and 2024, indicating non-compliance with mandated pest control documentation. The property experienced multiple complaints in 2022 regarding potential unauthorized work, with two complaints specifically about "Work Without a Permit - Occupied Multiple Dwelling," though inspections either could not gain access or found no violations at the time.
A complaint about construction contrary to approved plans was also filed, but similarly resulted in no violations being found during inspection. Additional complaints were made in 2022 related to construction (CSE: Sweep), but these were resolved without any violations being upheld. While some of these complaints were ultimately determined to have no merit upon inspection, the frequency and nature of the rodent-related issues and housing code violations suggest ongoing maintenance and pest control challenges at the property.
