629 Throop Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11216

629 Throop Avenue is a 3-unit, 3-story brownstone located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, built in 1886 and currently owned by Darius Huggins. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues in recent years, with complaints documented in October 2022 and January 2023, though inspections found either no violations or were unable to gain access to verify conditions.

Multiple violations have been recorded in recent inspections, most significantly from January 2023, including an obstructed egress, a loose wood baluster, and defective self-closing doors at the basement entrance. Prior issues from October 2022 in the 3rd-floor apartment included problems with plaster surfaces, kitchen light fixtures, and electrical outlets, as well as a violation regarding carbon monoxide detector notice requirements.

The building has undergone several important inspections in recent years regarding pest control, with the most recent bedbug report for 2023-2024 showing no infestation, while a June 2024 rodent inspection passed following previous rat activity noted in October 2022. The property has multiple open violations as of October 2023, including issues with building safety features and maintenance requirements, which appear to be primarily focused on common areas and building systems rather than individual units. While the building has addressed some safety and maintenance concerns over time, including the resolution of various heat and hot water complaints, several notable infrastructure and safety issues remain open as of the latest available data.
