1004 Willoughby Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221

The three-story, three-unit residential building at 1004 Willoughby Avenue in Bushwick, owned by Edwin Rodriguez, has a significant history of pest-related issues and recent rodent activity. The property, constructed in 1901 and classified as an Old Law Tenement, has consistently maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements from 2019 through 2024, reporting zero infested or eradicated units throughout this period.

However, there was one Housing Maintenance Code violation in 2022 related to the failure to file an annual bedbug report, though this appears to have been resolved as subsequent reports were consistently filed. More concerning is the building's recent rodent activity, with inspections in 2025 indicating active rat presence, following a pattern of alternating results between passed and failed inspections. Notably, the property has experienced periodic rat activity since late 2023, with multiple inspections recording this issue.

Furthermore, there was a complaint in 2019 regarding illegal hotel rooms in residential buildings, though this complaint was closed due to the inspector's inability to gain access during the second final attempt. The building received a permit issuance in February 2021 for unspecified work, though the nature of this work cannot be determined from the available data. While the building has generally maintained compliance with various housing regulations, the recent rodent activity represents a notable and ongoing maintenance challenge for the property.
