170 31st Street, Brooklyn, NY 11232
The 19-unit, 4-story tenement building at 170 31st Street in Sunset Park, owned by Vincent Truncali, has experienced persistent heating and hot water issues over the past year. Between September 2024 and February 2025, there were multiple emergency complaints regarding heat and hot water problems affecting the entire building, with tenants consistently reporting lack of service.
Though some complaints were resolved after inspections confirmed restoration of services, the frequency of these complaints indicates an ongoing infrastructure challenge. The building has also faced significant housing maintenance code violations, particularly in April 2024, including issues with lead-based paint hazards, window guards, pest infestations (both mice and roaches), and non-functioning self-closing doors. Additional concerns were noted regarding access to the heating system, fire escape obstructions, and public hallway maintenance.
Recent rodent activity has been documented, with inspections in April and May 2025 confirming rat presence. While the building has a record of addressing bedbug issues, with reports showing zero infested units in the past three years (2021-2024), the current state of pest control and sanitation remains a concern with the November 2024 complaints about pest infestations. The building's age (1916) and persistent infrastructure issues, particularly related to heating and maintenance compliance, suggest ongoing challenges with building systems and maintenance requirements.
