305 Throop Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11206

The 3-story, 5-unit building at 305 Throop Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by John Tsevdos and constructed in 1931, has experienced several notable events over recent years. The most recent issue occurred in March 2023, when the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) was unable to gain access to inspect a reported problem with the electric/gas range, leading to the closure of the complaint without resolution.

The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in any units since 2019, and all required annual bedbug reports have been properly filed with HPD. The property has undergone various inspections and compliance checks in recent years, showing some concerns with rodent activity. Between February 2023 and February 2025, there were multiple rodent inspections, with several showing the application of bait and at least one indicating rat activity in March 2024.

The building has faced some violation notices during 2018-2020, including an environmental control board violation from February 2020 regarding unpermitted A/C unit installations on the building's side, which resulted in an $800 penalty that was later resolved. Multiple Department of Buildings complaints from 2018 to 2020 were investigated, with most resulting in no violations being found, though one complaint regarding professional certification compliance in 2019 did result in violations being served. The property has consistently passed initial rodent inspections in 2023 and 2025, and all permit requests from 2018-2019 have been properly issued and documented, suggesting compliance with necessary regulatory requirements.
