311 Troutman Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237

311 Troutman Street is a four-story, eight-unit residential building in Bushwick, built in 1961 and currently owned by Jacob Sacks. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most recent problem being plumbing-related, which resulted in a Partial Stop Work Order in July 2025. There have been recurring heating and hot water system failures, with complaints documented in both April 2023 and October 2021, though some were resolved quickly.

The building faced multiple sanitary issues in 2021, including sewage problems, pest infestations, and mold concerns, particularly affecting the third-floor apartment units (3R and 3L). Violations issued in 2021 included unsafe electrical wiring in the vestibule and various maintenance issues in apartment 3R, such as water leaks and broken fixtures. The building's maintenance history shows attention to pest control, with the property passing multiple rodent inspections throughout 2022-2025, although there were periods of rat activity noted in May 2023 and November 2022.

The building has maintained an active bedbug reporting record from 2019 to 2024, showing no current infestations or eradication efforts needed. More recently, there is an open violation from June 2023 regarding the failure to file the 2019 External Low Pressure Inspection. While most historical complaints have been resolved, the pattern of heating system issues, plumbing concerns, and sanitary problems suggests ongoing maintenance challenges within the building.
