1269 Willoughby Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11237

The three-story, six-unit tenement at 1269 Willoughby Avenue in Bushwick, owned by Oren Noy and built in 1931, has experienced several maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most notably, there has been a pattern of plumbing problems reported in January 2025, including issues with water supply systems and bathroom facilities, with one complaint designated as emergency status. The building underwent significant safety inspections in 2020, revealing multiple violations related to building entrance security, fire safety materials, and public area maintenance, though all these violations were subsequently closed and certified as corrected.

Of particular concern was a broken window guard safety issue reported in January 2020, which was also investigated by HPD. Recent rodent activity has been a persistent issue, with multiple inspections throughout 2024 showing varying levels of rat activity, though the most recent inspection in February 2025 passed compliance. The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with all recent annual reports (2021-2024) showing zero infested units and no eradication or reinfestation cases.

The property has undergone regular rodent control measures, including bait applications in 2024, and the most recent rodent inspection in early 2025 showed improvement. The building's most recent bedbug report filing in December 2024 confirmed zero infestations for the 2023-2024 period, continuing the trend of successful pest management. The property’s maintenance history shows periodic attention to both preventive and reactive measures, including compliance with bedbug reporting requirements and addressing safety concerns as they arise. While the building has experienced various issues, particularly related to plumbing and rodent control, many of these problems have been addressed through proper channels and inspections, suggesting a pattern of responsive management to maintenance and safety concerns.
