1348 Willoughby Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11237

1348 Willoughby Avenue in Bushwick is a 3-story, 6-unit "New Law" tenement built in 1931, currently owned by 886 Frank Ave LLC. The building's most significant issues have centered around sanitation and maintenance concerns, particularly during 2019 when multiple complaints were filed regarding pest infestations, including several related to rodents. Health Department involvement occurred in April 2019, and multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations were recorded and subsequently addressed, including issues with carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, and various maintenance matters in apartment 2L.

The building experienced heat and hot water problems in early 2019, though some issues were resolved upon tenant reporting, while access issues sometimes hindered inspections. The property has shown periods of both improvement and ongoing concerns, with recent inspections indicating some progress. Most notably, rodent inspections in 2025 and 2024 passed, though there was rat activity noted in April 2024.

The building has maintained a consistent bedbug-free record from 2019 to present, with no infested or eradicated units reported in the past six years. A plumbing complaint from October 2018 regarding unpermitted work was closed with an inability to gain access during inspection. While the building has demonstrated compliance with various regulatory requirements, including gas leak notice postings and carbon monoxide detector maintenance, the history indicates periodic maintenance challenges that have required attention, particularly during 2019.
