175 Stanhope Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237

175 Stanhope Street is a 6-unit, 3-story Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1931, currently owned by Shloma Stuhl and located in Bushwick. The building has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, with the most pressing being a heat/hot water complaint in April 2025 that was addressed within a day. The property has an ongoing rodent control issue, with multiple inspections in 2024-2025 showing consistent rat activity, though bait has been applied regularly.

A concerning pattern emerged in August 2020 when multiple violations were documented, including water leaks, unsanitary conditions (mold and pests), and various maintenance issues (walls, ceilings, windows) that resulted in both emergency and non-emergency classifications. The building faced significant safety concerns in 2018, with multiple violations regarding improper gas installation and piping, resulting in penalties totaling $4,100, though these were later resolved. More recent inspections show no bedbug infestations reported from 2019-2025, and the building has maintained regular bedbug reporting compliance since then.

The property has undergone various inspections and corrections since 2015, including mandatory safety updates. Notable improvements include the resolution of multiple Department of Buildings violations and the certification of corrections related to smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector installations in 2022. While the building has addressed many past violations, the recurring rodent activity and recent heating issues suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. The property has maintained its status as an Old Law Tenement throughout its history, with ownership records showing consistent management under Shloma Stuhl.
