115 Willoughby Street, Brooklyn, NY 11201

The three-unit residential building at 115 Willoughby Street in Downtown Brooklyn, owned by Brian Ezra, is a three-story structure built in 1900. The building has experienced recurrent heating and maintenance issues over the past several years, with multiple heat and hot water-related complaints recorded in HPD's system, particularly evident in 2018, 2021, and most recently in 2022. These issues, while resolved in each instance, suggest an ongoing challenge with the building's heating system.

More recent concerns emerged in mid-2024, with multiple complaints clustered together in June regarding water leaks, pest infestations, and various window and wall maintenance issues, though HPD was unable to gain access for inspections in some of these cases. The building has a documented history of violations, particularly affecting the second-floor apartment (2NDFL) in 2018, where multiple issues were identified including problems with windows, waste lines, flooring, and pest infestation, all of which were subsequently certified as corrected. While there was an external low-pressure inspection violation issued in April 2023, this was dismissed by September 2023.

The property has maintained compliance with rodent inspections in 2013 and 2023, and there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the most recent monitoring period from 2023 to 2025. Two complaints regarding potential illegal use of the property for unauthorized dwelling units were investigated but found to be unsubstantiated. The building has obtained various permits for work performed between 2020 and 2021, suggesting ongoing maintenance and improvements to the property.
