11 Troutman Street, Brooklyn, NY 11206

The three-story, four-unit old law tenement building at 11 Troutman Street in Bushwick, owned by Michael Rooney Jr and constructed in 1931, has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past few years. Most notably, there have been multiple heat and hot water complaints, including two in December 2024 (one specific to an apartment, one for the entire building) and one in January 2024, though HPD's inspections generally found no violations.

The building has also faced persistent plumbing problems, with numerous complaints regarding toilets, bathtubs/showers, and sinks between 2023 and 2024, many of which could not be inspected due to access issues. A significant number of violations were documented in 2021-2022, including an open violation from 2021 regarding broken window sashes in Apartment 2A, while an infestation of roaches in Apartment 3A was noted as a Class C violation in 2021 and was still open as of 2022. The building has undergone regular bedbug reporting requirements between 2019 and 2025, with no documented infestations in the past six reporting periods, suggesting effective pest management.

While there have been some rodent-related concerns, with "Rat Activity" noted in May 2024 and September 2025 inspections, the most recent inspection in June 2025 resulted in a "Passed" status. The property has a history of various maintenance issues that have required attention, including electrical problems, water leaks, and flood damage, though many complaints were closed without violations being found. Recent inspections and reporting suggest improvements in building management, particularly regarding pest control, though the recurring nature of heat and plumbing complaints indicates ongoing maintenance challenges.
