101 Truxton Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233

The three-story, three-unit tenement building at 101 Truxton Street in Cypress Hills, owned by Kevin Hakiman, has experienced persistent maintenance issues over recent years, with a particularly notable presence of pest-related problems. The most recent complaints from November 2023 involved both pest infestation and wall condition issues, though HPD inspections were unable to gain access to verify these conditions. Throughout 2022 and 2023, the building faced recurring pest problems, including a documented roach infestation in December 2022 and multiple pest-related complaints, with violations issued for unsanitary conditions in June 2022.

The building has also experienced several heat and hot water-related issues, with tenants reporting problems in December 2022 and January 2023, though these were resolved relatively quickly. Additional maintenance concerns include a currently open Class A violation from March 2023 regarding the failure to file an annual bedbug report, and a more recent Class B violation from August 2024 related to defective fire escape ladder operation at the second story. The building has a documented history of rodent issues, with inspections in 2022 showing rat activity, including positive rat inspections in May and July 2022.

Earlier violations from June 2022 involved mold and water damage concerns in Apartment 1, with violations related to broken plaster surfaces and painting requirements. The property's management has occasionally responded to these issues, as evidenced by some complaints being marked as resolved, including a 2022 mold violation in Apartment 1, though many recent complaints have either returned or been closed without verification. Notably, there was also an Unpermitted Work violation in 2018 regarding a fire escape installation, though this appears to have been resolved through proper permitting procedures.
