235 Troutman Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237

Located in Bushwick, 235 Troutman Street is a three-story, six-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1931 and currently owned by Bernard Schwimmer. The building has experienced recurring pest management challenges, as evidenced by multiple pest-related complaints and inspection results showing rat activity in 2022 and early 2023, though more recent inspections in 2023-2025 have passed without violations.

The property underwent significant maintenance activity in 2024, with multiple complaints concerning various aspects of the building's condition, including plumbing issues, interior surfaces (walls, ceilings, floors), windows, and safety equipment like smoke detectors. All these complaints were investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) and closed without violations being found. The building has maintained an active bedbug reporting record from 2019 through 2024, consistently showing zero infested units, indicating effective management of this particular issue.

Several historical violations dating back to 2005 were noted regarding required postings in the public areas, including smoke detector requirements and building registration information, as well as a handhole cover issue identified in 1987, though these have since been certified as corrected in 2024. The property's rodent control efforts appear to be improving, with multiple rodent inspections in 2023-2025 showing passing results, particularly in 2024-2025 where no violations were detected, suggesting better pest management practices currently in place. While the building has experienced various maintenance issues over the past few years, the lack of violations in recent inspections and regular rodent control success imply improved property management conditions.
