998 Willoughby Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221

The three-story, three-unit residential building at 998 Willoughby Avenue in Bushwick, owned by Myrna Leal-garcia, has experienced recurring bedbug reporting compliance issues since 2021, with open violations remaining as of 2024-2025. Specifically, the building has received four consecutive Housing Maintenance Code violations between 2021 and 2024 for failing to file the required annual bedbug reports with NYC HPD, as mandated under section HMC:FILE.

While these violations may not directly indicate an active infestation, they suggest ongoing administrative non-compliance with bedbug reporting requirements. In terms of rodent control, the building's record reveals a generally positive pattern, with eight consecutive passing inspections between 2020 and 2024, demonstrating compliance with NYC's rodent control requirements.

However, there was one instance of rat activity documented on May 6, 2024, which was addressed through a subsequent compliance inspection on May 28, 2024, that passed. The most recent rodent inspection in May 2025 also passed, indicating current compliance with rodent control standards. This suggests that while the building has experienced periodic pest-related challenges, particularly regarding bedbug reporting compliance, it has maintained generally adequate rodent control practices with prompt attention to any detected issues.
