242 Troutman Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237

The 6-unit, 3-story OLD LAW TENEMENT building at 242 Troutman Street in Bushwick, owned by Moshe Wilhelm and constructed in 1931, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, particularly in 2024. Most notably, there were multiple mold-related violations in May 2024 in Apartment 1R's bathroom, with approximately 1 square foot on the south wall and 2 square feet on the ceiling, requiring both emergency response and subsequent remediation.

Other 2024 maintenance concerns included issues with the building's intercom system, paint conditions on walls and ceilings, and door self-closing mechanisms, though most of these complaints have been resolved. The building has a documented history of water-related problems, with three heavy flow water leak incidents recorded between 2020-2021, and electrical lighting issues in December 2020 that were also addressed. More recently, the building has faced challenges with rodent control, showing rat activity in 2025, 2024, and 2023, though it passed a compliance inspection in May 2025 following previous bait applications.

The property has maintained a clean bill of health regarding bedbugs, with zero infestations reported across multiple annual inspections from 2019 through 2024. While many of the building's historical issues appear to have been addressed through proper channels, the recurring nature of both water-related problems and rodent activity suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The most recent inspections indicate active management of pest control measures, as evidenced by bait application and subsequent compliance inspections.
