1111 Willoughby Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11237
The 6-unit residential building at 1111 Willoughby Avenue in Bushwick, owned by Orazio Crisalli and constructed in 1931, has experienced numerous maintenance and safety issues over the past two years. Most notably, there have been recurring problems with heating and electrical systems, with multiple reports of no lighting and heating issues between 2023 and 2024, including an emergency heat/hot water complaint in May 2024. Several apartments, particularly 1R and 3R, have been cited for multiple violations regarding missing or defective safety equipment including smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and safety issues such as broken light fixtures and electrical outlets.
The building has also faced significant infrastructure challenges, with multiple Department of Buildings violations related to the boiler system, including multiple instances of defective/inoperative boilers, and serious safety concerns regarding gas piping and ventilation in the basement. Environmental Control Board violations from 2024 indicate additional issues with electrical work and hardware compliance. More recently, in 2025, the building has been dealing with confirmed rat activity, as evidenced by multiple rodent inspections showing rat activity and the application of bait throughout 2023-2025.
Although there have been no reported bedbug infestations in recent years (2022-2024), the building’s maintenance history shows ongoing challenges typical of older New York City tenement buildings, particularly relating to basic services like heat and hot water, and compliance with safety regulations. The building currently has some open violations related to the boiler system and low-pressure inspections that date back several years (2018-2023), suggesting potential ongoing maintenance oversight issues. The property has also experienced multiple tenant safety inspections throughout 2023-2024, with some resulting in Oath Violations, indicating enforcement actions have been necessary to address certain concerns.
