442 Throop Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221
The three-story, four-unit residential building at 442 Throop Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Alvin Modeste and constructed in 1931, has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues over recent years. Most pressing are two open violations related to bedbug reporting requirements spanning from 2021 to 2024, as well as active violations concerning boiler inspection report filings from April 2023 and December 2024, with associated penalties totaling $1,250.
The building has a history of heating system problems, with multiple HPD complaints in October 2020 regarding heat and hot water issues, affecting both entire building and individual units. Between 2019 and 2020, there were additional complaints regarding wall conditions and water leaks.
The property has faced ongoing challenges with rodent activity, particularly within the last two years, as evidenced by multiple inspections in 2023 and 2024 revealing rat activity, though the most recent inspection in March 2025 passed. While some recent violations have been addressed, such as boiler inspection compliance in 2022 and rat activity remediation efforts in late 2023, several open violations remain, including failure to file annual bedbug reports and boiler inspection documents. The building's maintenance history shows a recurring pattern of access issues during HPD inspections, where inspectors were unable to gain entry to investigate reported problems.
