59 Throop Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11206

59 Throop Avenue is a 5-story, 15-unit residential building constructed in 2002 and currently owned by Mendy Deutsch. The property has experienced recurring elevator issues, with multiple complaints between 2019-2022 about the only elevator being out of service, including significant water damage in 2021 that created hazardous conditions. The building underwent several Housing Maintenance Code inspections in 2022, revealing various violations that were subsequently closed, including maintenance issues in common areas such as defective ceramic floor tiles near the entrance, problems with fire-retardant materials in the boiler room, and concerns with encumbrances in public hallways and stairs.

Apartment 3A had multiple violations including door closure issues and an illegal lock, though these were also closed following correction. The building has maintained a clean record with respect to bedbug infestations, as evidenced by three consecutive annual reports (2022, 2023, and 2024) showing zero infested or eradicated units. The property's violation history shows a pattern of maintenance issues being addressed, with most violations from 2022 (including problems with floor tiles, roof storage, and ceiling/wall repairs) being closed following correction.

There were some environmental control board violations in 2018 that were resolved with a penalty of $310, and three active DOB violations from 2019-2021 related to the elevator system that were ultimately dismissed based on corrective actions. The building's bedbug reporting shows consistent compliance with HPD requirements, with no documented infestations in any of the recent reporting periods from 2021 through 2024. The most recent bedbug report (December 2024) indicates a continuing pattern of zero infestations, suggesting effective pest management practices are in place.
