191 Troutman Street, Brooklyn, NY 11206

191 Troutman Street is a 4-story, 10-unit residential building constructed in 1931 and owned by Moshe Wilhelm. The property has experienced persistent heat and hot water issues over the past three years, with eight documented complaints from March 2022 through April 2024, indicating ongoing problems with the building's heating system.

Most recently, between March and April 2024, multiple emergency complaints were filed regarding building-wide heat and hot water outages. The building has also faced infrastructure challenges, including a significant electrical wiring violation noted in February 2023, requiring repairs to unsafe unprotected high-gauge wiring, and a self-closing door violation in June 2022 regarding a defective vestibule door. Recent maintenance records show fluctuating rodent activity, with the most recent inspection in April 2025 passing, though there were documented "Rat Activity" findings in late 2023 and 2024.

The building's gas piping system has been under scrutiny, with an investigation in December 2024 regarding potentially illegal or defective gas hook-up, though the inspector was unable to gain access. Despite these various issues, the building has maintained a clean record in terms of bedbug infestations over the past three reporting periods (2021-2024), with no reported cases in the last three years. While some past violations have been resolved, including the 2018 ECB violation for failure to comply with an order (which carries a $1,250 balance), the recurring nature of heat and hot water problems suggests ongoing maintenance challenges.
