1115 Willoughby Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11237

1115 Willoughby Avenue is a 3-story, 6-unit residential building constructed in 1931, currently owned by Eden Ashourzadeh. The property has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over recent years, with the most recent concerns including ventilation system problems (2024) and both ventilation and mold issues in Apartment 1L (2024). A cluster of significant maintenance issues occurred in September 2021, including plumbing problems, multiple water leaks, unsanitary conditions (including mold and sewage), and pest infestations - though HPD inspections found no violations in these cases.

There have been two heat and hot water complaints in recent history: one affecting the entire building in 2019 and another specific to an apartment in 2021, both of which were resolved. The building has faced some regulatory challenges, most notably regarding an allegedly illegal duplex conversion in Apartment 1R that reportedly involved unauthorized floor modifications and construction of spiral stairs, with associated violations carrying a financial penalty. Recent inspections (2025) have shown both rat activity and compliance passes during rodent inspections, indicating ongoing pest management issues.

Despite these challenges, the building has maintained a mostly active bedbug-free record since 2019, with only one reported case in 2020 that was subsequently eradicated. The property has experienced periodic ventilation system concerns, as evidenced by the open violation in 2024 and a similar complaint in 2024, though previous ventilation complaints received no violations. While the building has undergone various repairs and addressed multiple violations over the years, it continues to have recurring maintenance issues that require ongoing attention.
