Augrented Insights Report for 12 Willoughby Avenue

The three-story, three-unit tenement building at 12 Willoughby Avenue in Fort Greene, owned by David Sputz, has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, with the most significant problems occurring in the past year. In October 2023, the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) issued multiple violations related to paint and plaster conditions, including problems with doors/frames and walls.

An open complaint from August 2023 regarding construction lead dust in common areas and apartments remains unresolved. These recent violations follow a pattern of maintenance issues, as evidenced by multiple HPD complaints in August 2023 concerning paint/plaster problems with windows/frames, ceilings, and walls.

The building has a history of regulatory scrutiny, including concerning lead paint hazards that were documented in 2023 violations, requiring specific remediation practices per city regulations. Earlier issues included a complaint about building shaking in 2019 (resulting in an Oath violation), and various environmental control board violations in 2020 related to maintenance compliance, specifically mentioning disrepair of wooden cornices and spalling brickwork. While the building has maintained a record of being bedbug-free since 2020, with no infestations reported in the annual filings up to January 2025, there were significant pest control efforts documented for rodent issues in 2020, including multiple bait applications between July and December 2020, suggesting past rodent activity.
