1125 Willoughby Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11237
1125 Willoughby Avenue is a 3-story, 6-unit, pre-war tenement building in Bushwick, constructed in 1931 and currently owned by Jacob Rubin. The building has faced several significant maintenance challenges over recent years, particularly between 2019-2020, when multiple emergency complaints were recorded. Notable issues during this period included heat and hot water problems in September 2019, heavy water leaks in May 2019, and various plumbing and mold concerns in the second-floor apartment (2L) in 2020.
The 2L apartment specifically experienced multiple violations in 2020 related to pest infestations (including mice and roaches), mold, water damage, and issues with plastered surfaces requiring repairs. The building's maintenance history shows some ongoing challenges with rodent activity, as evidenced by multiple inspections between 2022-2025 consistently indicating rat activity, though there were some instances of passing inspections and bait application. Notably, the property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations in recent years, with all annual reporting periods from 2020 through 2025 showing zero infested units. Two bedbug-related violations were issued for failure to file annual reports in 2022-2023, but these were subsequently addressed.
The most recent violations from 2023-2024 involved bedbug reporting requirements, while older violations from 2020 regarding apartment 2L's conditions were ultimately closed. The building's inspection records reveal some concerns about egress and illegal conversion complaints in 2019, though these were determined to have no violations or unable to gain access for inspection. Most recent inspections and complaints show fewer urgent issues, particularly regarding heat and hot water systems, though the recurring nature of rodent activity remains a notable concern. The property has also undergone regular rodent inspections, with baiting efforts documented in 2022 and multiple compliance inspections in 2023-2025 showing varying results.
