999 Willoughby Avenue
A handful of records on file over the last seven years, and our model sees a moderate chance of more in the next 12 months. A few records worth reading before you sign. Check whether they were closed out, and ask what was actually fixed.
This building has 5 recorded HPD violations, at or below the Bushwick average of 11.9.
The bar and the rating point different ways because they measure different things: the bar counts HPD violations already on file, the rating forecasts the next 12 months.
The five-story, 18-unit building at 999 Willoughby Avenue in Bushwick, constructed in 2009 and currently owned by 999 Willoughby Avenue, LLC, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most notably, in July 2026, the building faced serious violations regarding gas piping and HVAC installation, with the Department of Buildings documenting illegal connections and unpermitted equipment that resulted in active ECB violations carrying penalties of $1,250 each. This followed a pattern of emergency maintenance needs, including a plumbing water supply issue in August 2026 that was classified as immediately hazardous and a heat/hot water emergency in June 2022. The building has a concerning history of rodent issues, with multiple rat sightings reported between 2022 and 2024, and has failed seven rodent inspections over the past seven years.
