244 Troutman Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237

Approximately 85 years old and comprising six units across three stories, 244 Troutman Street in Bushwick, currently owned by Chananya Gold, has experienced significant maintenance and habitability challenges in recent years. Most notably, there has been an ongoing pattern of heat and hot water issues, with multiple emergency complaints between December 2023 and April 2025, including violations issued for inadequate hot water in 1R during inspections. The building has also faced recurring sanitary concerns, particularly regarding mold, with complaints filed in January 2024 and September 2024, though inspections reportedly found no violations.

Water leak complaints were logged in September 2024, and there have been consistent rodent activity reports, with multiple "bait applied" and "rat activity" inspections throughout 2024-2025. Recent building history reveals several maintenance violations requiring attention, including problems with self-closing doors, hot water systems, and front entrance stability. A 2024 violation was issued for failure to file 2023 external low-pressure inspection documentation.

The property underwent construction work in late 2023, which resulted in multiple Environmental Control Board violations for inadequate construction practices and safety concerns, though these appear to have been resolved through fines. The building has maintained a clean bedbug record since 2019, with no reported infestations in any dwelling unit. Two open violations as of October 2025 relate to heating system access and hot water provision, while the status of various historical violations shows many have been addressed or closed through inspections and corrections.
