289 Throop Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11206

The three-story, six-unit old-law tenement building at 289 Throop Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Beverly Cooper and constructed in 1931, has experienced several maintenance issues over the past few years. Most recently, in early 2023, multiple service requests were documented, including plumbing problems with toilets, issues with door frames, appliances like electric/gas ranges, and mold concerns, though no violations were ultimately issued for these complaints.

The building has a significant history of violations and maintenance needs in Apartment 1A, dating from 2019 to 2021, including problems with a water leak, bathtub repairs, safety system concerns (intercom, smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors), and an illegal lock on an egress door, many of which were categorized as Class B violations. The building's rodent inspection records show a pattern of rat activity, with several inspections between 2022 and 2025 indicating either rat activity or the need for bait application, though most recent inspections in 2024-2025 have passed.

While the property has maintained an active bedbug reporting history from 2019 to present, with all reports indicating zero infested units and proper eradication measures, recent inspections and reports suggest improved overall conditions. Notably, as of March 2023, there was a violation regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports, though this appears to have been resolved in subsequent filings. The building's general maintenance pattern shows a range of issues primarily related to plumbing, electrical systems, and sanitary conditions, though many recent inspections and service requests have either not resulted in violations or have been promptly addressed.
