Augrented Insights Report for 885 Troy Avenue

The six-story, 61-unit building at 885 Troy Avenue in East Flatbush, owned by Frederick Froston, has experienced numerous maintenance issues over the past years, with the most recent cluster of problems occurring in 2025. From March to June 2025, there were multiple complaints and Housing Maintenance Code violations related to water leaks, plumbing issues, and unsanitary conditions including pest infestations. Notably, between March 2025 and March 2026, violations were documented in apartments B9 and E6, including issues with mold, smoke detector functionality, and various maintenance problems.

The building has also faced recurring rodent activity, as evidenced by multiple inspections between 2019 and 2025, with the most recent activity reported in February and April 2025. While some issues have been addressed, as indicated by closed violations, there are still outstanding concerns, particularly regarding the building's elevator system and various plumbing fixtures. The property has a documented history of elevator-related complaints between 2019-2022, with violations pertaining to safety devices and maintenance issues.

Recent inspections under Local Law 188/17 Compliance Inspections in 2024 showed no violations, though there are active DOB violations as of September 2024 regarding failure to file required pressure inspections for multiple years (2018-2023), which remain unresolved as of the current date. The building has experienced periodic bedbug infestations, with the most recent cases reported in 2023-2024, though these appear to have been addressed according to eradication records. While some individual complaints have been resolved through HPD inspections, particularly those involving unsanitary conditions and pest problems, the frequency and variety of maintenance issues suggest ongoing challenges with building upkeep and systems maintenance.
