161 Troutman Street, Brooklyn, NY 11206
161 Troutman Street is a 3-story, 6-unit New Law Tenement building in Bushwick, constructed in 1931 and currently owned by Moshe Wilhelm. The property has experienced significant recurring issues with plumbing and heat/hot water systems in recent years, most notably in early 2025 when multiple complaints about bathtubs/showers, sinks, and toilets were filed and subsequently closed, along with earlier heat/hot water complaints spanning December 2024 through January 2025.
The building's plumbing infrastructure appears to be particularly problematic, with multiple emergency complaints requiring HPD intervention. Additionally, from February through April 2025, there has been ongoing rodent activity in the building, with multiple inspections showing rat activity and bait application.
The Department of Buildings issued a violation in February 2024 regarding heating system access, and multiple Housing Maintenance Code (HMC) violations were recorded in 2024, including issues with an apartment in 1R that required repairs to various fixtures, removal of mold, and installation of safety devices such as smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. The building's maintenance history shows some improvement in recent months, as evidenced by the resolution of several violations and complaints, though the persistence of plumbing and rodent issues suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. Notably, there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the past six years, which is a positive aspect of the building's recent history.
