285 Troutman Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237

285 Troutman Street is a 3-story, 5-unit old law tenement building located in Bushwick and currently owned by Jacob Sacks. The building, constructed in 1931, has experienced recurring electrical issues in recent years, with the most recent power outage complaint filed in January 2025 resulting in HPD violations that require correction.

This follows a similar pattern of electrical problems, including a January 2023 outage and an August 2021 outage, suggesting ongoing electrical infrastructure challenges. The building has also faced intermittent heating and hot water issues, as evidenced by a January 2023 complaint that could not be investigated due to access issues. The property has undergone regular bedbug reporting, with the most recent 2024-2025 report showing no active infestations, following two reported cases in 2021-2022 and 2020-2021 where one unit each time was affected but subsequently treated.

The building has experienced fluctuating rodent activity, with initial inspections in 2024 showing rat activity, though subsequent compliance inspections typically resulting in "Passed" results. Several plumbing (PL) and electrical (EW) permits were issued in 2018-2019, indicating maintenance and improvement work, though the specific nature of these permits is not detailed in the records. The property's inspection history shows consistent monitoring and reporting requirements being met, particularly in the area of pest control, with regular filings demonstrating compliance with current housing maintenance code requirements.
