446 Throop Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221

446 Throop Avenue is a 3-unit, 3-story residential building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, currently owned by Janett Lloyd-lewis and constructed in 2006. The building has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water availability, particularly during late 2024 and early 2025, with multiple emergency complaints filed through HPD. Recent complaints include an unsanitary condition related to pests filed in January 2025, for which violations were issued but are currently being addressed.

The building has also faced periodic maintenance challenges, including a power outage in late 2022 that took months to resolve, and earlier issues with mold documented in a January 2020 complaint. Multiple open violations related to annual bedbug reporting requirements (2020-2024) remain outstanding. The property underwent various inspections and has had several documented maintenance issues addressed over the years, including necessary repairs to address electrical, plumbing, and safety concerns.

Notable past violations include mandatory repairs to building entrance doors, window guards, and fire retardant materials in the boiler room (2020), though many of these were subsequently resolved. Recent rodent inspections from 2022 and 2024 passed, indicating compliance with basic sanitation standards. While the building has demonstrated an ability to respond to many maintenance issues, the recurring nature of heating system problems and recent pest infestation suggests ongoing challenges with building systems and maintenance response times.
