1415 Troy Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11203

The two-family house at 1415 Troy Avenue in East Flatbush, owned by Matthew Smith, is a 2-story, 2-unit building constructed in 1935. The property has experienced several maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most significant cluster of complaints occurring in 2022.

On April 29, 2022, multiple emergency complaints were filed regarding electrical wiring, door issues, and intercom problems, though inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) found no violations in these cases, and all related complaints were closed by June 28, 2022. An earlier issue from June 2021 regarding unsanitary conditions related to garbage and recycling storage resulted in violations being issued, with the building found to be in violation of § 27-2023 of the Administrative Code concerning proper waste disposal receptacles. However, this violation was confirmed as resolved in subsequent inspections, including a rodent inspection in October 2014 which passed.

Looking forward, most recently, a permit was issued on March 1, 2024, for electrical work (Job Number: 340893849), indicating ongoing maintenance or improvements to the building's systems. While the property has experienced various maintenance issues in recent years, it is worth noting that the HPD inspections generally did not find significant safety violations, and the building has passed rodent inspections, suggesting some level of attention to basic maintenance requirements. The most recent complaints from 2022 were resolved without violations being issued, though they did involve multiple system-related concerns that may indicate age-related maintenance challenges.
