Augrented Insights Report for 175 Willoughby Street

The 14-story residential building at 175 Willoughby Street in Fort Greene, owned by Douglas Boettner, has experienced persistent maintenance issues over recent years, particularly regarding heating systems and plumbing. Most notably in late 2023, the building faced multiple heat and hot water complaints through 311 service requests between August and December 2023, with some inspections showing violations related to water temperature exceeding 130 degrees in unit 3M. There were also significant plumbing issues documented in 2023 and 2022, including violations involving basins/sinks in multiple units.

The property has a documented history of rodent activity, with inspections in 2024 and 2023 showing rat activity, though a November 2024 inspection passed. The building has undergone various inspections and has several open violations from late 2023, including issues with self-closing doors in basement areas and an electromagnetic locking device at the front vestibule. The building's maintenance history reveals recurring problems with building systems and infrastructure, including a 2021 plumbing work stoppage order, multiple heat and water complaints, and periodic issues with mold and water damage.

While there have been some improvements, such as the completion of residential unit repairs, the building continues to experience ongoing maintenance challenges. Noteworthy recent inspections include those for bedbug activity and rodent control, with the most recent bedbug reports (2024-2025) showing no infestations. The building's compliance history demonstrates a mix of resolved and ongoing violations, with various complaints about unauthorized construction work and security concerns. These maintenance issues can impact overall resident comfort and safety, as evidenced by the volume and nature of the complaints filed through city agencies.
