300 Troutman Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237

300 Troutman Street is a 3-story, 6-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1931, currently owned by Moshe Wilhelm and located in Bushwick. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, most notably two emergency heat/hot water complaints in December 2024 that affected both individual apartments and the entire building, though inspection access was not granted. Prior to this, the building faced multiple maintenance challenges in 2024, including rodent issues (with multiple compliance inspections showing rat activity between 2023-2025), plumbing problems, and issues with various apartment features such as mold, appliances, and interior surfaces.

The second floor (Apartment 2L) has received particular attention from inspectors, with multiple violations documented in 2024 related to doors, windows, and security features. Although there were concerns about illegal conversions reported in 2021, inspections were unable to gain access to verify these claims. The building's recent history shows ongoing maintenance concerns that have required attention from multiple city agencies, including HPD and DOHMH.

While the property has regularly passed bedbug inspections between 2019-2025 with zero reported infestations, it has consistently faced challenges with rat activity, as evidenced by multiple failed inspections. The most recent rodent inspection from June 2025 showed compliance, though earlier inspections in 2024-2025 had documented rat activity. In addition to these issues, various maintenance complaints throughout 2024 and 2025 have addressed problems with plumbing, flooring, walls, and windows, though many of these were found to have no violations upon inspection. The building's heating system appears to be a recurring concern, with multiple heat/hot water complaints over the past year, and there have been some issues with building security features such as door closers and latches, particularly noted in violations from September 2024.
