231 Troutman Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237

231 Troutman Street is a 3-story, 5-unit residential building located in Bushwick, built in 1931 and currently owned by Linda Vera. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water system issues, with two significant incidents reported on December 24 in both 2022 and 2024, involving complaints of no heat or hot water throughout the entire building.

While the 2024 incident was resolved within a week, with inspectors confirming restoration of services, the 2022 case saw HPD unable to gain access for inspection. These incidents represent the most concerning pattern in the building's recent history. In terms of pest control, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbugs over the past five years (2020-2025), with no reported infestations in any unit.

Rodent inspections present a mixed picture; while the building passed multiple inspections between 2021 and 2025, there were two concerning incidents in 2022 - an Initial inspection in June showed rat activity, followed by a Compliance inspection in July returning a similar result. Since then, regular inspections have consistently passed, suggesting effective remediation of the rodent issue. The building's maintenance history also shows regular oversight, with all bedbug filings in the past five years reporting zero affected units, though the heat/hot water incidents represent the only recurring maintenance concern.
