1247 Willoughby Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11237
The three-story, 6-unit New Law Tenement at 1247 Willoughby Avenue in Bushwick, built in 1931 and currently owned by Joseph Cunin, has undergone several noteworthy events in recent years. A significant heat and hot water outage affecting the entire building was reported and confirmed in November 2019, though these services were reportedly restored shortly thereafter.
The building has maintained an impressive record regarding bedbugs, having filed five consecutive reports between 2021 and 2024 with each indicating zero infested units, eradicated units, or re-infested units. However, the property has experienced recurring challenges with rodent activity, particularly evident between 2023 and 2025.
Inspections in August 2023, February 2024, and February 2025 showed rat activity, while earlier inspections in October 2023, March 2024, and August 2024 passed without issues. Notably, the most recent rodent inspection in March 2025 resulted in a "Passed" status, though this followed previous identified rat activity. The building's owner has shown responsiveness to maintenance issues, as demonstrated by the relatively quick resolution of the 2019 heat/hot water complaint, but the ongoing rodent concerns suggest a recurring maintenance challenge.
