53 Stanhope Street, Brooklyn, NY 11221

The two-family house at 53 Stanhope Street in Bushwick, owned by Maguire Bkln Ix Llc, has experienced multiple maintenance issues since 2022, with particular concerns in the heating system. Between December 2022 and January 2023 alone, there were four separate complaints about inadequate heat and hot water, three of which required emergency intervention.

The property has also faced various other maintenance challenges, including flooring issues, water leaks, and problems with wall paint/plaster, particularly during the January 2023 period when multiple violations were documented. Most recently, in May 2023, there was a complaint about unsanitary garbage/recycling storage conditions, which was closed without inspection access. In addition to these persistent internal maintenance issues, there have been several recent concerns regarding neighboring construction activity affecting the building's stability.

Between March and June 2025, multiple complaints were filed regarding building shaking, excessive debris, and construction work beyond approved plans. While inspections were conducted, in most cases no violations were found. The building, constructed in 1901, is two stories tall and contains two apartments, and while it has experienced recurring maintenance issues, the most recent complaints have primarily focused on external construction activity rather than internal building systems.
