296 Willoughby Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11205
The four-story, 8-unit residential building at 296 Willoughby Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Avrumi Licht, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over recent years. Most notably, there have been persistent problems with heat and hot water across the entire building, with the most recent complaint filed in October 2024 showing emergency status, though inspectors were unable to gain access for verification. The building has also faced significant water-related issues, with three separate complaints about leaks between 2023 and 2024, including both heavy flow and slow leaks, though no violations were issued following inspections.
The property has undergone various inspections related to pest control, passing rodent inspections in 2025 and showing occasional rat activity in previous years, including a July 2024 inspection. Bedbug reports from 2022-2024 indicate no infestations during the respective reporting periods. The building's maintenance history reveals attention to various structural and environmental concerns, including indoor air quality issues related to dust from construction in December 2023 and ceiling paint/plaster problems in September 2023.
A facade-related violation from 2018 regarding an unpermitted business sign was resolved with a penalty of $620. The property has maintained regular bedbug reporting compliance, with the most recent report from December 2024 showing zero infested units. The building's age (constructed in 1920) and classification as an Old Law Tenement suggest it has experienced typical urban maintenance challenges, though the pattern of heat/hot water issues and water leaks may warrant attention, given their recurrence over multiple years.
