Augrented Insights Report for 245 Troutman Street

The three-story, five-unit residential building at 245 Troutman Street in Bushwick, owned by Alex Kahen, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over the past few years. Most notably, there are multiple active structural concerns as of mid-2025, including reported hairline cracks in the facade, multiple cracks throughout the building, and issues with a bowing/bulging wall at the ground level south elevation that were documented in June 2024 and April 2025 inspections.

The building's maintenance history reveals recurring problems with heating and hot water systems, with three separate complaints filed between 2024-2025, including an emergency complaint in January 2025. There have also been multiple housing maintenance code complaints filed in late 2024 related to unsanitary conditions and ventilation systems, though HPD inspections reportedly found no housing law violations in these cases. The building's Department of Buildings history shows multiple "Failure to Maintain" complaints between 2024-2025, with six such complaints recorded between June and November 2024 alone.

A concerning pattern of rodent activity has been documented in recent years, with several inspections from 2023-2024 showing either rat activity or compliance passes, though the most recent 2025 inspection resulted in a pass. The building previously had multiple housing code violations in 2018 related to safety signage and building entrance security, including issues with an illegal double cylinder key-operated lock at the front entrance gate and various safety notice requirements that were subsequently resolved. Additionally, there were several Environmental Control Board violations in 2018 related to construction work and electrical safety, including work done without proper permits and failure to maintain adequate housekeeping during construction.
