229 Troutman Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237
229 Troutman Street is a three-story, 6-unit residential building located in Bushwick, Brooklyn, owned by Linda Vera and constructed in 1931 in the old law tenement style. The building experienced significant heating system issues in January 2020, with multiple 311 complaints and housing maintenance code complaints related to heat and hot water outages, classified as emergencies. Several other maintenance issues were reported during this period, including problems with flooring, lighting, and the bell/intercom system.
An inspection in January 2020 revealed multiple violations in Apartment 1A, including defective carbon monoxide and smoke detectors, broken bathroom ceramic tiles, and defective kitchen vinyl tiles, though some of these were resolved by March 2020. A notable safety concern was addressed when a violation regarding obstructed fire escape egress was closed in March 2020. The building's recent maintenance history shows significant improvements, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past three years (2021-2024), as documented in the annual bedbug reports.
Rodent inspections conducted between 2022 and 2025 show a mix of results, with passed inspections in 2022, 2023, and 2024, but instances of rat activity noted in June 2023 and June 2022. The property appears to have addressed major safety concerns since 2020, with no recent violations related to heating systems or building safety. Annual bedbug reports submitted from 2020 to 2025 consistently show zero infested dwelling units, indicating successful pest management practices. The most recent rodent inspection in June 2025 resulted in a passing grade, suggesting improved conditions regarding vermin control.
