240 Willoughby Street, Brooklyn, NY 11201

240 Willoughby Street is a 32-story, 477-unit residential building constructed in 1946 and currently owned by Ashland Place Housing, Inc. The building has experienced several instances of regulatory non-compliance in recent years, particularly regarding low-pressure system inspections. Three active violations from 2023 remain on record as of July 2025, pertaining to the failure to file required external low-pressure inspection reports for 2021, 2022, and 2023.

In 2025, the building received two complaints about unauthorized after-hours work and a sweep, while in 2024, multiple complaints were recorded between March and July, including issues with debris (both excessive and potentially dangerous), concerns about adjacent building protection, and several compliance tracking matters. Notably, there was one incident in March 2024 involving concerns about falling debris, though inspections did not warrant any violations. The building's violation history shows a pattern of compliance issues, though many have been dismissed following proper remediation.

For instance, in 2023 violations related to benchmarking reports and low-pressure inspections were successfully dismissed, and one recent violation from March 2025 regarding failure to certify correction on an immediately hazardous violation was also dismissed. The property has undergone various inspections and sweeps, with recent inspections in March 2025 resulting in no violations being warranted. The building's management has addressed some compliance issues promptly, as evidenced by the dismissal of multiple violations related to external low-pressure inspections through proper documentation, though the persistence of several active violations as of mid-2025 suggests ongoing regulatory challenges.
