18-67 Troutman Street, Queens, NY 11385

The 6-unit, 3-story tenement building at 18-67 Troutman Street in Ridgewood, owned by Fadil Lukolic, has experienced several maintenance and compliance issues in recent years. Most notably, in December 2024, there were multiple complaints across various categories including plumbing (basin/sink), door/window issues (doors and window panes), general maintenance (cabinet), unsanitary conditions (pests), flooring concerns, electrical problems (no lighting), and appliance issues (electric/gas range).

All these complaints went unresolved as HPD inspectors were unable to gain access to conduct inspections despite multiple attempts, and the lack of timely response from residents led to their closure. The building has a documented history of maintenance violations and compliance issues, particularly in 2022 regarding Apartment 1, where multiple violations were noted including pest infestation (roaches), bathroom sink issues, kitchen cabinet problems, and door-related defects.

The property has also undergone recent inspections showing some concerning patterns, including a 2024 inspection for bedbug reporting requirements that was marked as both open and closed, suggesting potential administrative discrepancies. There is an active boiler inspection violation from 2019 that remains unresolved, and while recent rodent inspections show passing compliance in December 2023, there was reported rat activity in October 2023. The building's history shows a somewhat persistent pattern of maintenance issues, though the most recent bedbug and rodent inspections indicate some stabilization in pest control measures, despite ongoing concerns about access and response times to reported issues.
