1012 Willoughby Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221
1012 Willoughby Avenue is a 3-story, 6-unit Old Law Tenement building located in Bushwick, built in 1931 and currently owned by Moshe Wilhelm. The property has experienced recurring water and mold issues over recent years, with the most recent incidents occurring in mid-2024, including an emergency mold situation in July 2024 and a damp spot water leak in July 2024.
Housing Maintenance Code violations identified in August 2024 included problems with the roof causing leaks in the third-story public hall, defects in fire retardant materials, and issues with fire safety equipment. Specifically, violations were issued for a defective iron ladder in the fire egress system, and missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in apartment 3L. The building has a history of unsatisfied access during inspections, particularly regarding mold complaints in 2021 and 2022, and multiple complaints about illegal conversions were filed between 2021-2022, though inspectors were unable to gain access in these cases.
The property has shown some improvement regarding pest control, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past four years (2021-2024), and recent rodent inspections in 2025 passed successfully. While the building maintains regular rodent inspection compliance, the pattern of water-related issues and mold complaints over several years, along with the recent safety violations in 2024, indicates ongoing maintenance challenges. The building's violation history includes several significant concerns, particularly regarding fire safety systems and water damage, though most recent violations from 2024 have been certified as corrected as of September 2024.
