100 Troutman Street, Brooklyn, NY 11206

100 Troutman Street is a 3-story, 6-unit tenement building located in Bushwick, built in 1931 and currently owned by Brandon Benitez. The building has experienced several maintenance and compliance issues over the past few years, with the most recent significant events including a May 2024 electrical lighting problem and an April 2024 violation for excessively hot water (over 130 degrees) in Apartment 1A. A cluster of complaints in September 2023 included concerns about unsanitary conditions (mold, garbage/recycling storage, and pests) and emergency issues with window frames, though no violations were ultimately issued for these complaints.

Apartment 3B has had multiple window-related violations between 2022-2024, including issues with counterbalance problems and fire escape access. The building also faced various maintenance challenges in late 2022-2023, including electrical outlet/switch problems, appliance issues, and a temporary heat/hot water complaint (though heat was not required at the time of inspection). Notably, there have been no recorded bedbug infestations in any of the regular annual reporting periods from 2020 to present, and recent rodent inspections conducted in 2023-2025 have generally passed, with only one instance of rat activity noted in June 2022, followed by subsequent compliance passes.

The building has demonstrated some ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly related to window functions, water systems, and electrical issues. However, the lack of bedbug infestations and recent successful rodent inspections indicate generally good pest management practices. The property has shown responsiveness to violations, as evidenced by timely certification of corrections, though there have been instances where violations were issued for conditions that were previously reported as complaints with no violations found. The current state of the building suggests periodic maintenance issues requiring attention, particularly focusing on building systems and window-related concerns.
