1137 Willoughby Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11237
The 6-unit, 3-story tenement building at 1137 Willoughby Avenue in Bushwick, owned by Prashanth Rayapudi and built in 1931, has experienced persistent water-related issues over recent years. Between 2019 and 2022, there were multiple reports of water leaks, including heavy flow incidents in both 2019 and 2021, and significant complaints in July 2022 regarding unsanitary conditions including pests and mold, which HPD was unable to inspect due to access issues.
The building has also faced several maintenance violations, particularly in 2019 when issues were noted with the roof leaking over the ceiling in Apartment 3R, along with concerns about fire retardant materials and surface conditions in the 3rd-story public hallways. More recently, between 2023 and 2024, there were violations related to failure to file required external low pressure inspections, though these were dismissed. The building's bedbug reporting history from 2020 to 2024 shows no reported infestations, and while there have been recent rodent inspections in 2025 with varying results, the most recent inspection in April 2025 passed.
Regular maintenance and compliance checks show some concerns, with the most recent inspections in early 2025 indicating an overall passed status for rodent activity, though there were failed inspections in early 2024 and some discrepancies in 2022. The property experienced some issues in 2021 related to unauthorized work, but inspections did not warrant violations. The building has maintained a consistent record of filing bedbug reports demonstrating compliance with NYC regulations, showing zero infested units in the most recent filings for 2023-2024.
