Augrented Insights Report for 261 Stanhope Street

The three-story, six-unit residential building at 261 Stanhope Street in Bushwick, owned by Chaskel Landau and constructed in 1931, has experienced numerous maintenance and safety issues over recent years. Most notably, there is an active rat infestation problem, with multiple inspections in 2025 and 2024 confirming rat activity, though baiting was conducted in May 2024.

Recent building health concerns include a June 2025 indoor air quality complaint, while earlier issues in 2023 involved problems with doors, windows, and unsanitary garbage storage that received HPD attention but resulted in no violations. The building faced significant safety concerns in late 2022, with multiple emergency maintenance complaints regarding doors, electrical issues, and the need for smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, though all were subsequently closed.

The property has multiple outstanding Department of Buildings violations related to failure to file external low pressure inspections from 2018 through 2024, and an active ECB violation from 2018 regarding non-compliance with a Commissioner's order. A notable series of violations from a November 2022 inspection revealed various issues including broken fire-retardant plaster boards, electrical wiring concerns, and problems with public hall maintenance across all stories. While there have been no documented bedbug infestations in recent years (2020-2024), the building's maintenance history shows persistent challenges with basic infrastructure and safety systems, requiring ongoing attention to address both vermin control and building safety compliance issues.
