Augrented Insights Report for 237 Troy Avenue

237 Troy Avenue is a three-story, 8-unit residential building constructed in 1900, currently owned by Jacob Klein, located in Crown Heights. The building has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years, most notably a heat and hot water emergency in November 2023, and ongoing concerns regarding bedbug reporting compliance, with open violations issued in 2021, 2022, 2023, and most recently in 2024.

The property has a concerning pattern of heating system problems, with multiple heat-related complaints over the past five years, including a heavy flow water leak incident in November 2019 that required emergency intervention. Historical records indicate more serious structural and safety violations, particularly regarding an unauthorized duplex conversion in Apartment 2A, where illegal modifications were made including a countertop electric range installation and unauthorized living space conversion in the cellar area, leading to multiple violations in 2019. This included safety concerns related to missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, though these violations were ultimately closed by 2020.

More recently, there has been a pattern of regulatory non-compliance regarding boiler inspections, with active violations for failing to file required external low-pressure inspection reports from 2018 through 2023, as well as a 2019 violation for failing to file the 2017 boiler inspection report. The building has also faced pest control challenges, with rat activity documented during inspections in 2023, and previous incidents in 2018. While some past issues have been resolved, the pattern of violations and recent heating system problems suggest ongoing maintenance challenges that affect resident comfort and safety.
