Augrented Insights Report for 996 Willoughby Avenue

The 8-unit, 4-story building at 996 Willoughby Avenue in Bushwick, owned by Zalmen Biederman, has experienced several recurring maintenance challenges over recent years. Most notably, there have been multiple complaints regarding garbage/recycling storage issues, with the most recent complaint filed in May 2025 and earlier instances in October 2023 and October 2024, though inspections in these cases did not result in any housing violations.

The building has also faced water-related issues, with emergency water leak complaints reported in May 2023 and a slow leak in March 2020, neither of which resulted in housing violations. Additionally, there have been concerns about pest control, with a pest complaint in May 2023 and documented rat activity in recent rodent inspections throughout 2025, 2024, and 2022. The building has two open Class A violations as of now, related to failing to post proper signage regarding building registration and superintendent contact information as of August 2024.

Earlier violations from 2019-2020 regarding bedbug reporting requirements, fire escape access, and building cleanliness have since been closed. There are currently three active DOB violations from 2023 regarding failures to file external low-pressure inspections for 2018 and 2019, and a 2019 violation for not filing the 2017 boiler inspection report. While the building has maintained an active bedbug reporting history showing no infestations since 2020, the persistent rat activity and various maintenance issues suggest ongoing challenges with building upkeep and sanitation compliance.
