272 Throop Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11206

The 8-unit, 4-story residential building at 272 Throop Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, constructed in 2016 and currently owned by 272 Throop LLC, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years. Most notably, there have been recurring problems with heating and hot water systems, with multiple emergency complaints recorded between 2022-2023 regarding both building-wide and apartment-specific failures.

Recent safety concerns emerged in May 2025, with simultaneous complaints about smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, though these were promptly addressed according to HPD records. The building has also faced persistent rodent issues, with multiple inspections showing rat activity between 2023-2025, though there were some "Passed" results in 2024-2023 inspections, suggesting intermittent control measures were partially effective. Water-related problems have been documented, particularly in 2021, with two significant leak complaints (one involving heavy flow and another a slow leak) leading to violations being issued.

Unit 1R has experienced various maintenance challenges, evidenced by multiple violations from 2019-2021 requiring repairs to surfaces, floors, and the abatement of mold conditions. The building had a concerning pattern of heating system failures in late 2022, with three consecutive emergency complaints about lack of heat and hot water from December 22-30. While recent bedbug reports from 2021-2024 show no infestations, indicating effective management in this regard, the building's history of maintenance issues suggests ongoing attention to basic infrastructure systems is required.
