64 Troutman Street, Brooklyn, NY 11206

This three-story, six-unit Old Law Tenement building at 64 Troutman Street in Bushwick, owned by Zev Trout LLC, has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past few years, with particular concern about water-related problems. Between 2022 and 2024, there were multiple reports of water leaks, including three separate heavy flow incidents in 2023-2024, and two damp spot complaints in 2022 that required multiple HPD interventions.

The building underwent emergency responses for heat and hot water issues in late 2022, affecting the entire building, though these problems were reportedly resolved promptly. Other maintenance concerns have included plumbing issues with bathtubs/showers (most recently in May 2024), flooring problems, unsanitary conditions including pests (May 2023), and a history of violations related to bedbug reporting compliance (2023 violation). Recent rodent control efforts have been significant, with multiple baiting operations in early 2025 and documented rat activity in compliance inspections in January and October 2024, suggesting an ongoing pest management challenge.

However, the building has maintained a record of 0 bedbug infestations in the past four reporting periods (2020-2024). The property has experienced some access issues during HPD inspections, particularly in relation to water leak complaints, where inspectors were unable to gain entry on multiple occasions, and there was one instance of unaddressed flooring concerns according to the inspection records. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of recurring water-related issues and occasional heating system problems, though most complaints have been resolved through HPD intervention.
