Augrented Insights Report for 1385 Willoughby Avenue

1385 Willoughby Avenue is a 3-story, 18-unit residential building in Bushwick, constructed in 1931 and currently owned by Larry Gelfand. The property has experienced persistent rodent infestations over the past several years, with multiple complaints and inspections revealing rat activity and conditions attracting rodents. The most recent inspection in June 2025 confirmed ongoing rat activity, with bait applications recorded in April 2025 and March 2025.

These issues appear to be recurring, with similar problems noted in 2024 and 2022. The building has also faced various maintenance and safety concerns, including a heat and hot water emergency affecting the entire building in 2022, water leak issues, and multiple unsanitary conditions related to pests. Apartment 2D has several open violations from 2022 related to defective plaster surfaces, bathroom tiles, and a defective self-closing door.

Notably, there are active Environmental Control Board violations from December 2020 regarding unsafe pipe scaffold conditions with associated penalties of $7,500. The building's history includes several complaints about illegal conversions and unsafe conditions, though many of these complaints were marked "Inspector Unable To Gain Access" during inspections. While recent bedbug reports from 2022 through 2025 indicate no current infestations, the building's ongoing rodent problems and other maintenance issues suggest persistent challenges with building maintenance and sanitation.
