65 Willoughby Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11205
The 29-unit, 6-story apartment building at 65 Willoughby Avenue in Fort Greene, built in 1928 and owned by Husko Dervievic, has experienced consistent maintenance challenges, particularly regarding heat and hot water systems throughout 2024. There were eight reported incidents of heat/hot water issues between January and November 2024, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building, many of which were classified as emergencies. The most recent complaints were filed in November 2024, with at least one complaint remaining open at that time. The building has faced several other significant issues, including electrical problems (power outage in June 2024), rodent infestations (notable activity in late 2023 and 2024), and sanitation concerns regarding garbage/recycling storage (March 2024).
Recent inspections in November 2024 revealed multiple violations in apartment B1, including mold presence, pest infestations (roaches and mice), and water temperature regulation issues, though these violations were subsequently certified as addressed between November 14-19, 2024. The building's systems and infrastructure have required ongoing attention, with active violations related to the Cycle 8A report of critical examination for exterior walls (imposed penalty of $1,250) and additional issues pending from the 2022 Cycle 9A report. Elevator service concerns were documented in August 2024, and while there have been several scaffold-related complaints between 2022-2023, inspections found no violations. The property has maintained a relatively clean bedbug record in recent years, with no reported infestations between 2022-2025, though there were sporadic occurrences in 2018-2020.
The building has received regular maintenance permits for various repairs and improvements, with the most recent active permits issued in 2024 and 2025. Compliance inspections have shown mixed results, with rat activity detected in recent inspections (2023-2024), though a compliance inspection in November 2024 passed. While many emergency complaints have been promptly addressed, the recurring nature of heat/hot water issues suggests ongoing challenges with building systems. The property's age and history as a New Law Tenement class building indicate it may require continued monitoring of maintenance issues affecting resident comfort and safety.
