Augrented Insights Report for 284 Willoughby Avenue

284 Willoughby Avenue is a 7-unit, 4-story Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1920, currently owned by Ulises Martinez. The property has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water systems, with multiple emergency complaints filed in 2023, 2022, and 2020, including a recent November 2023 complaint involving the entire building that was resolved with verified corrections. The building has also faced persistent rodent problems, with multiple rat sightings and conditions attracting rodents reported between 2020 and 2025, including recurring rat activity noted in recent inspections as of June 2025. Several housing maintenance violations have been recorded, particularly affecting apartment 4R, including issues with heat and hot water (April 2022), water damage (roof leaks), and various maintenance concerns documented during a July 2020 inspection.

The building's infrastructure maintenance has faced scrutiny, with active violations noted in 2023 for failure to file external low-pressure inspections for 2018 and 2021. While the property has filed bedbug reports for the periods 2021-2022 and 2022-2023 showing no infested units, the presence of multiple building system issues, including plumbing problems (multiple reports in 2020), suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The building's inspection history reveals a pattern of emergency repairs and violations requiring attention, particularly regarding water systems and pest control. Notable historical context includes a 2018 violation for unauthorized cellar use as an art studio, though this appears to have been resolved.

Recent rodent inspections in 2024 and 2025 continue to show rat activity, indicating persistent challenges with pest control. The property has demonstrated some responsiveness to heating and water issues, with multiple complaints being addressed and closed, though the recurrence of these problems suggests an ongoing maintenance pattern. The building's age and classification as an Old Law Tenement are consistent with its history of infrastructure-related service requests. The most recent inspection results as of June 2025 indicate continuing rat activity, with prior inspections showing similar results. The property currently has active violations related to external low-pressure inspection filings from 2018 and 2021 that require attention.
