2132 Troy Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11234

The two-family house at 2132 Troy Avenue in the Flatlands neighborhood, owned by Lascelles Barrows, has documented several concerning issues in early 2022 that warrant attention. The most significant incident was a heat and hot water emergency reported on January 29, 2022, which resulted in an HPD inspection on February 5, 2022.

While HPD faced access issues with some units, they were able to verify inadequate heat or hot water in at least one apartment, leading to violations. Specifically, the first-floor apartment was cited for failing to provide hot water at all fixtures in one room, and notably, for having no carbon monoxide detection devices installed at all, which represents a serious safety concern.

Additionally, there were related issues with the building's boiler system, as a complaint was filed on January 29, 2022, regarding a potentially defective or inoperative boiler, though this complaint was later referred to HPD for further investigation on February 1, 2022. While some violations were ultimately closed, including the hot water issue (as of February 6, 2022), the open status of the carbon monoxide detector violation suggests ongoing safety compliance concerns. The building, constructed in 2001, is a two-story structure containing two units, and these incidents mark the most significant documented issues in recent history, particularly given the serious nature of the carbon monoxide safety violation.
