171 Troutman Street, Brooklyn, NY 11206
The three-unit, three-story building at 171 Troutman Street in Bushwick, owned by Cheryl Ighodaro and constructed in 1931, has faced persistent maintenance challenges over the past two years. Most notably, there has been ongoing water-related issues, with multiple complaints of "heavy flow" leaks and damp spots reported between August 2023 and September 2024, though no violations were ultimately issued.
The building has also experienced rodent infestations, with an open violation as of August 2024 regarding rat droppings in the front area, and multiple rodent activity inspections in 2023-2025 showing consistent rat presence despite bait application efforts. Apartment 2 notably has a cluster of open violations from 2023-2024, including issues with water leaks around window casings, pest infestations, various window and door problems (including a lockable door issue affecting fire escape access), and ceiling repair needs. More recent inspection data from 2025 continues to show evidence of rat activity, with multiple bait applications in January 2025 and an inspection confirming rat activity in April 2025.
While there have been regular bedbug filings between 2021 and 2025 showing no reported infestations, the building's recent history shows ongoing challenges with basic maintenance and pest control. The Department of Housing Preservation and Development has documented multiple complaints over the past two years, particularly during August 2023 when several issues were reported simultaneously, including water leaks, pest problems, and door/window concerns. While the building has experienced various maintenance issues, it's notable that most recent complaints do not appear to have resulted in new violations being issued.
