68 Troy Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11213

68 Troy Avenue is a 3-story, 6-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1906 in Crown Heights, currently owned by Prashanth Rayapudi. The property has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, with the most recent cluster of problems reported in early 2025 including water leaks with heavy flow, mold (unsanitary condition), and ceiling paint/plaster issues, all of which resulted in HPD violations requiring corrections by the property owner.

Historical records show a pattern of maintenance concerns, including a 2018 violation for broken plaster and defective paint in Apartment 1R, and a 2021 violation for failing to file the required annual bedbug report, though the building's bedbug reporting from 2021-2024 shows no infestations, with zero infested or eradicated units reported in the past four filings. The building has undergone multiple inspections for potential illegal hotel room operations, with complaints recorded in late 2019 and late 2020, though neither resulted in violations.

A 2018 rodent inspection was passed, indicating no rodent issues at that time. While the property has had various maintenance issues over the years, it's worth noting that many complaints resulted in HPD inspections and subsequent violations that required owner correction, suggesting some level of regulatory oversight has been maintained. The most pressing recent concerns appear to be the water leak and mold issues reported in early 2025, which were classified as emergency violations requiring prompt attention.
