AI summary · updated June 2026

641 Troy Avenue, a 4-story, 38-unit tenement building in Crown Heights built in 1924 and owned by James Mullings, has experienced persistent maintenance challenges throughout 2025. The building has ongoing issues with plumbing, water leaks, and rodent infestations, as evidenced by multiple 311 service requests and housing maintenance code complaints. Most recently, in June 2025, there have been reports of problems with the building's bell/intercom system and plumbing fixtures in bathrooms and sinks. Notable incidents in 2025 include several water leak complaints (with violations issued), multiple rodent sightings leading to ongoing baiting operations, and appliance-related issues. The building has also faced heat and hot water service interruptions, though these were resolved promptly according to HPD inspections.

The property has a documented history of maintenance violations, particularly in Apartment B12, where issues with mice infestation, water leaks, and various repair needs were identified and required correction. The building's management has been cited for failure to file certain inspection reports, though this violation was eventually dismissed. In terms of pest management, while the building maintained a zero infestation status for several years between 2019-2023, a single unit was reported as infested and subsequently treated in late 2024, according to the bedbug reporting system. The Department of Buildings records indicate past issues with unauthorized work and occupancy concerns, though these are now resolved. Regular rodent control measures have been implemented throughout 2024-2025, with multiple instances of rat activity detection prompting bait application.
