999 Willoughby Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221
The 18-unit, 5-story building at 999 Willoughby Avenue in Bushwick, owned by Zipora Cymbal and constructed in 2009 as a New Law Tenement, has experienced recurring issues with rodent infestations between 2022 and 2025. The most recent pattern shows intermittent rat activity, with inspections in 2024 and 2025 passing successfully, but prior to that, there were consistent sightings and inspections revealing rodent presence as recent as 2024, with some inspections showing "Rat Activity" while others passed.
The building underwent significant safety improvements in mid-2022 when violations were issued and subsequently resolved in apartments 4A and 5A, including replacement of defective smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, self-closing doors, and repairs to the buzzer/doorbell system. Earlier complaints from 2022 also addressed heat/hot water issues and intercom problems, though no violations were ultimately issued following inspections.
The building's elevator system experienced scrutiny in 2019, with multiple complaints recorded regarding single device service and inspection results showing no violations. Recent bedbug reports from 2021-2024 consistently show zero infested units, indicating effective pest management. Regular rodent inspections throughout 2023 and 2024 suggest ongoing monitoring and management of this recurring issue, with a combination of passed inspections and bait applications indicating active pest control measures being implemented.
