1116 Willoughby Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11237

1116 Willoughby Avenue is a 4-unit, 3-story residential building located in Bushwick, built in 1931. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues in recent years, with the most pressing concerns documented during inspections in October 2024, including multiple open violations in Apartment 3 for interior maintenance issues such as defective sink, plaster surfaces, and wall/ceiling paint requirements.

The building has also faced security and safety concerns, with open violations from 2023 regarding a defective building entrance latch and public hall strike plate, as well as safety equipment issues in Apartment 1B including defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. A notable incident occurred in December 2020 when a building-wide heat/hot water complaint was filed, though inspectors were unable to access the property for verification. Recent filings indicate that the building has maintained a consistent record of no bedbug infestations over the past several years, with the most recent reporting period (2023-2024) showing zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units.

The property has experienced fluctuating rodent-related issues, with the most recent inspection in June 2025 passing, though there were periods of rat activity noted in mid-2024 and late-2023. The building's owner, Ismael Felciano, is responsible for addressing the current maintenance violations, which include both interior apartment issues and building-wide safety concerns. While the property has demonstrated some compliance with rodent control measures, the ongoing maintenance violations suggest a need for continued attention to building upkeep and safety systems.
