276 Troy Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11213

The three-story, three-unit apartment building at 276 Troy Avenue in Crown Heights, owned by Henry Henwood, has experienced significant maintenance challenges, particularly related to heat and safety systems. Most notably, between November and December 2021, there was a serious and persistent lack of heat and hot water throughout the building, with multiple complaints filed by tenants and subsequent HPD inspections revealing violations.

The building has been subject to several open violations related to bedbug reporting requirements from 2021-2024, suggesting potential ongoing pest management concerns. More critically, following a December 2021 inspection, several safety violations were documented in Apartment 3, including issues with heat supply, smoke detector functionality, carbon monoxide detector compliance, and accessibility of emergency egress through a metal gate.

Additional violations from the same inspection period require the owner to properly notify residents about building heating system access and carbon monoxide detector requirements. While some of these violations have been open since late 2021, the building's historical heat and safety issues indicate a pattern of maintenance challenges that have persisted over several years, with the most recent documented issues dating back to 2024 and remaining unresolved as of the current date.
