96 Troy Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11213

This three-story, three-unit residential building at 96 Troy Avenue in Crown Heights, owned by Jeno Guttmann, has been experiencing persistent heating system issues since 2019. The most recent complaint, filed in December 2023, reported heating problems throughout the entire building, though inspectors were unable to gain access for verification. The building has recorded multiple heat and hot water complaints over the past five years, with several violations issued, particularly during inspections in 2022.

Notably, an open violation from November 2022 pertains to inaccessible heating system access due to a locked boiler room door from the first-floor public hall. The building's maintenance records show some positive aspects, including passing rodent inspections in 2018 and 2022, and consistent bedbug reporting from 2019 to present indicating no infestations. The property has multiple open violations from a November 2022 inspection, including requirements for proper posting of safety notices related to carbon monoxide detectors, gas leak procedures, smoke detector requirements, and building registration information.

While there is one closed violation regarding hot water issues in Apartment 2, the building's overall maintenance record raises concerns about heating system reliability and compliance with various safety posting requirements. Despite these issues, the building has maintained a consistent record of no bedbug infestations and successfully passed recent rodent inspections, suggesting some aspects of building maintenance are being adequately addressed. The historical heat and hot water complaints, particularly those involving the entire building, suggest an ongoing challenge with the building's heating system infrastructure, though some inspections of individual apartments resulted in no violations being found.
