227 Troutman Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237

227 Troutman Street is a 3-story, 6-unit residential building located in Bushwick, owned by Katty Lam and constructed in 1931 under the OLD LAW TENEMENT classification. The property has multiple ongoing housing maintenance code violations related to annual bedbug reporting requirements, with violations recorded in 2021, 2022, 2023, and most recently in April 2024, though these are administrative in nature.

More concerning are several open violations from April 2019, including issues with fire safety and egress systems, such as a defective fire escape, problematic iron ladder to the roof scuttle opening, and broken fire retardant plaster in public areas, which present potential safety hazards. The building has documented one rodent sighting in September 2019, though subsequent rodent inspections from 2020 through 2025, including the most recent in June 2025, have all passed except for a bait application in February 2020. Of particular note is a current active complaint from April 2025 regarding potential illegal conversion, with inspection access denied at first attempt in May 2025.

The building's maintenance history shows consistent efforts to address rodent issues, as evidenced by regular inspections, though the presence of multiple open violations from 2019 suggests some ongoing maintenance challenges. The property has maintained compliance with rodent control measures since 2020, with no recent sightings reported since the 2019 incident. While the building has passed multiple recent inspections for various issues, the combination of open violations and the current complaint regarding illegal conversion warrants attention, though the nature and resolution of these issues should be verified through appropriate channels.
