230 Troutman Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237

230 Troutman Street is a four-story, 16-unit residential building located in Bushwick and owned by Aron Kapelyus. Constructed in 2012 as a Class A building, the property has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water systems, with three significant incidents reported between March 2021 and October 2022. Most notably, in August 2022, violations were issued following an entire building outage, and in October 2022, an apartment-specific outage was reported, though both issues were eventually resolved according to HPD.

The building has also faced several maintenance challenges, including violations related to gas safety notifications, heating system access, and hot water availability in Apartment 1A, along with a gas supply issue at the same unit, all documented during August 2022 inspections. Positive developments include the building's strong record of pest management, with annual bedbug reports from 2021 to 2024 showing zero infestations. Regular rodent inspections conducted between 2021 and 2025 have consistently resulted in passing grades, indicating effective pest control measures.

The property has maintained compliance with various safety requirements, though three notable violations from October 2022 related to posting mandatory housing information notices were documented, including requirements for gas leak procedures and housing information guides. All violations have been officially closed, with the most recent bedbug reports (2023-2024) and the latest rodent inspection (April 2025) showing continued compliance with health and safety standards. The building has demonstrated recent improvements in maintaining essential services, with no reported heat/hot water complaints since late 2022.
