167 Stockholm Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237

The 6-unit, 3-story tenement building at 167 Stockholm Street in Bushwick, owned by Cheryl Ighodaro and constructed in 1931, has experienced significant maintenance issues over the past two years, with particular concern regarding heat and hot water systems. Most recently, in January 2025, a building-wide heat/hot water complaint was filed, though inspectors were unable to gain access to verify the problem. This followed a pattern of similar complaints in 2024, where multiple heat-related issues were reported between January and March, with inspectors consistently encountering access issues.

During early 2024, the building also faced problems with doors and intercom systems, though no violations were issued following HPD inspections. A major cluster of issues was documented in March 2024, including plumbing problems, pest concerns, and multiple door-related complaints. The building underwent various repairs and improvements in early 2024, including addressing hot water temperature issues in apartment 3A (where temperatures exceeded 130 degrees Fahrenheit), and repairs to doors, plaster surfaces, and leaks in the ceiling.

Several Housing Maintenance Code violations were recorded and subsequently closed, including issues with roof access, public hall wall colors, and fire retardant ceiling requirements. More recent concerns have emerged in 2025 regarding rodent activity, with multiple inspections between March and June 2025 confirming rat activity in the building and the application of bait treatments. Despite these challenges, it's worth noting that the building has maintained a record of no bedbug infestations since 2020, with regular reporting showing zero infested units or eradicated cases.
