121 Euclid Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11208

The 121 Euclid Avenue property, owned by Regina Trotman, is a two-family house built in 1920 in the Cypress Hills neighborhood. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past five years. Most recently, in October 2023, there was an emergency heat and hot water complaint affecting the entire building, though HPD was unable to gain access for inspection.

Prior to this, there were recurring concerns about building maintenance, including a 2020 plumbing issue involving water supply, and a 2019 mold-related unsanitary condition. The property was also subject to serious structural concerns in July 2021, when two separate complaints were filed regarding building shaking and structural stability, resulting in a partial vacate order. These structural issues were linked to an ECB violation for a fallen rear gutter that was documented between July and November 2021, with associated penalties totaling $2,500 for failure to maintain the building and comply with correction orders.

The building has had three emergency heat/hot water complaints (2023, 2020), a mold issue (2019), and multiple violations related to building maintenance, including a concerning pattern of emergency complaints. Notably, there were three ECB violations related to failure to maintain the building and comply with orders, with penalties being resolved by January 2022. The property had passed rodent inspections in 2011 and 2012, but these are now dated relative to current conditions. The Department of Housing Preservation and Development's responses to various complaints indicate access issues during inspections, suggesting potential challenges in monitoring building conditions.
