Augrented Insights Report for 989 Willoughby Avenue

The 32-unit, 5-story residential building at 989 Willoughby Avenue in Bushwick, owned by Joe Gross and constructed in 2017, has experienced recurring maintenance issues, particularly regarding heating systems and pest control. Most recently, in early 2025, there were complaints about unsanitary conditions related to pests, and in late 2024, there were heating system failures affecting the entire building.

Similar heating and plumbing issues were reported and partially verified in earlier inspections during 2024 and 2022. The building has also been subject to multiple compliance challenges, including violations for heating system access and hot water availability in specific units in 2024, along with a notable elevator service violation in early 2023. The property has shown some improvement in pest management, as evidenced by its bedbug reports from 2021-2024, all indicating zero infested units.

However, recent rodent inspections in 2024-2025 have shown mixed results, with two failed inspections for unspecified reasons. The building's mechanical systems have faced scrutiny, with violations recorded regarding both elevator operation and energy compliance reporting, though many of these issues appear to have been resolved or are currently inactive. The building's record shows a pattern of maintenance access issues for inspection purposes, as evidenced by multiple complaints where HPD was unable to gain access for inspection, suggesting potential challenges in addressing resident-reported issues promptly.
