165 Stanhope Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237
The three-story, six-unit building at 165 Stanhope Street in Bushwick, owned by Deodat Lowtan, has experienced numerous maintenance and safety issues over the past two years. Most concerning are the recurring pest problems, with multiple reports of unsanitary conditions and pests filed between 2024 and 2025, including recent complaints in June 2025 that inspectors were unable to access.
The building has also faced significant water-related issues, with an emergency water leak complaint in October 2024 and rodent problems persisting throughout 2024-2025, though recent inspections in July 2025 achieved passing results. In late 2024, several safety concerns were documented in Apartment 1L, including non-functioning smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, door issues, and a problem with the intercom system, though these violations were subsequently addressed and certified as corrected. The building's history reveals ongoing concerns about unauthorized modifications and building safety, with active complaints regarding illegal conversion from late 2024 and previous complaints in 2018.
A 2018-2023 inspection showed an air conditioning unit obstructing fire escape egress, and there is an active Environmental Control Board violation from 2018 regarding unpermitted window installations. While the property has shown compliance with rodent inspections in 2025, the frequency of pest-related complaints, particularly in 2024-2025, suggests ongoing challenges with building maintenance. However, the building has consistently reported zero bedbug infestations in mandatory reporting periods since 2020, showing proper handling of this specific pest issue.
