1237 Willoughby Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11237
The 3-story, 6-unit tenement building at 1237 Willoughby Avenue in Bushwick, owned by Samuel Focarino, has a mixed compliance history since 2020. Built in 1931, this New Law Tenement has recently demonstrated both maintenance challenges and improvements.
The building has experienced recurring electrical issues, with two complaints about lighting and outlet problems recorded in June 2022, though these complaints were closed in June 2023 due to inspectors' inability to access the premises. An annual bedbug report violation was issued in March 2023 regarding the failure to file required documentation, though this appears to have been resolved based on subsequent filings showing zero infestation or eradication cases in recent periods (most recent filings from December 2024 and March 2024). The building's rodent control record shows a concerning pattern in 2024, with multiple inspections (February 2024 and August 2024) indicating rat activity, though these were subsequently followed by passed inspections.
The property has maintained an active compliance record with regular inspections and filings, including ten consecutive bedbug reports between 2020 and 2024 showing no infestations or eradication requirements. A historical complaint from December 2018 concerning unauthorized plumbing work was closed in March 2019 when inspectors were unable to gain access. While the building has faced various maintenance issues over the years, recent records show improved compliance with both rodent inspections and bedbug reporting requirements, though the electrical access issues in 2022-2023 remain notable.
