1009 Willoughby Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221
1009 Willoughby Avenue is a 4-story, 10-unit residential building in Bushwick, constructed in 1931 and currently owned by Zalmen Biederman. The building has experienced recurring rodent control challenges, with the most recent inspection in June 2025 showing minor violations but passing overall.
There have been several rat sightings reported through 311 services in recent years, with inspections in 2024 and 2025 showing some improvements. The property has maintained an active compliance record for bedbug reporting from 2021 to 2024, consistently filing reports with zero infested units in the past four reporting periods. The building's history includes periodic maintenance issues, particularly regarding heat and hot water in December 2018, though inspectors were unable to gain access to verify the complaints.
Two significant complaints from 2019 (regarding illegal hotel rooms) and 2021 (concerning plumbing issues) were also documented, but in both cases, inspectors could not gain access to the building. A construction-related violation from 2018 resulted in a $2,500 penalty related to the lack of a construction superintendent on site. Despite these incidents, it's notable that recent inspections have shown consistent compliance with both rodent control and bedbug reporting requirements, suggesting improved management of these persistent issues.
