Augrented Insights Report for 299 Throop Avenue

299 Throop Avenue is a 6-unit, 3-story Old Law Tenement building in Bedford-Stuyvesant, built in 1931 and currently owned by Zach Spira. The property has experienced persistent plumbing issues in recent years, with multiple emergency plumbing complaints filed in late 2024, including water supply problems and heavy flow water leaks. An inspection in December 2024 found no violations, but HPD has often been unable to complete inspections for various complaints in 2024, including unsanitary conditions, pest issues, and appliance problems. The building has a documented history of rat activity, with inspections showing consistent evidence of rodent presence between late 2023 and 2025, though rodent control measures have been applied.

Significant violations were recorded in 2021 related to Apartment 1, including an unauthorized cellar sleeping area, water leak issues, and a staircase alteration creating an illegal duplex. The building underwent several unauthorized modifications in the 2010s, including roof piercings and changes to the third-story skylight, though these violations were certified as corrected in 2023. Past complaints include a 2019 heat/hot water issue where access was denied for inspection. The property has maintained a record of filing bedbug reports showing zero infested units between 2018 and 2025, and though pest complaints were filed in 2024, they were documented as non-emergency.

A gas utility referral in 2023 also resulted in access issues for inspection purposes. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of access denial during inspections, particularly for complaints filed in 2024, which limits the ability to verify and address maintenance issues. While some violations have been corrected, including those related to fire safety and unauthorized alterations, the recurring nature of plumbing issues and rodent activity suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The most recent bedbug reports from 2025 indicate no current infestations, though the building's history shows occasional pest management needs.
