242 Stockholm Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237
242 Stockholm Street is a 4-story, 8-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1931 in Bushwick, currently owned by George Vargas. The building has experienced persistent maintenance and safety issues, particularly in recent years. Most notably, between January and March 2023, violations were documented for unsanitary conditions (mold), water leaks, and floor problems.
The building's first-floor apartment (1R) has required multiple repairs and faced several violations in 2023, including issues with water leaks, broken windows, bathroom fixtures, and mold on both walls and ceiling. A concerning pattern of rodent activity was observed between February 2023 and November 2023, with multiple inspections showing rat activity, though recent inspections in 2024 and 2025 have consistently passed. The building's history includes a fire escape safety violation in 2020, issues with lead-based paint in 2020 (Apartment 2L), and various plumbing and structural concerns that have required multiple inspections and repairs to address water damage and mold growth.
Despite these ongoing maintenance challenges, there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the building since 2019, and recent inspections in 2024 and 2025 have shown improvement in rodent management, passing all inspections since 2024. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of recurring issues that have required multiple inspections and corrections, with some violations specifically relating to building code requirements for proper repairs and maintenance of affected areas. The records indicate that while many violations have been addressed and closed, there is a historical pattern of moisture-related problems affecting tenant living conditions, particularly in bathroom areas.
