867 Troy Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11203

This three-story, six-unit residential building at 867 Troy Avenue in East Flatbush, owned by Robert Ainehsazan, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, in late 2022, there was an emergency situation involving loss of heat and hot water affecting the entire building, though these services were reportedly restored within a week. The building has also faced persistent pest control challenges, with multiple complaints about unsanitary conditions and rodent activity reported between 2021 and 2023, including three documented instances of rat sightings in early 2023 and during 2022.

More concerning are the recent structural concerns that emerged in October 2024, with multiple complaints about building shaking and stability affecting the structure, leading to a Partial Vacate Order being issued. Building facade problems were documented, with violations noting cracks, leaning columns, and displaced bricks that were described as potentially dangerous. These structural issues were officially cited as violations with a penalty of $1,250.

The property has shown some commitment to resolving maintenance issues, as evidenced by the absence of bedbug infestations or re-infestations over the past several reporting periods (2019-2024), and significant repairs were made in 2022 to address lead-based paint hazards in Apartment 1A. Other documented improvements include handling various door and window repairs, though multiple violations related to garbage/recycling storage and door conditions remain open. Recent inspections in 2023-2024 have noted ongoing violations requiring repair of fire-retardant plaster, painting requirements, and locker assembly issues in the first-story public hall. The building's heating system and various door/window components have required attention, with several HPD complaints being generated between 2021 and 2022, though many of these were closed without violations being officially cited.
