AI summary · updated June 2026

The two-story, four-unit building at 901 Willoughby Avenue in Bushwick, owned by Guy Shor and constructed in 1899, has experienced several concerning maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, in December 2023, the building faced multiple complaints regarding unsanitary conditions, including both mold and pest infestations, with at least one violation being issued for pest-related issues. These complaints led to inspections which uncovered various violations, including problems with lead-based paint hazard control requirements in both apartments 1F and 2R. Additional violations identified in early 2024 required the building management to address issues such as a defective sink cabinet in apartment 1R, maintenance of self-closing doors, and various lead-related compliance requirements.

The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of rodent-related challenges between 2022 and 2023, with multiple inspections reporting rat activity, though recent inspections in 2024-2025 show improvement, with all passing results. The property has maintained a consistent record of submitting bedbug reports annually since 2019, with all filings showing zero infested units, suggesting effective management of this particular pest issue. Despite these improvements, the building's most recent inspections in 2023-2024 reveal ongoing concerns with lead paint compliance and other maintenance issues, though many violations have been addressed and closed, including two Class A violations related to building signage and inspection certificate placement that were certified as corrected in March 2024.
