239 Stanhope Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237
The 6-unit, 3-story tenement building at 239 Stanhope Street in Bushwick, owned by Paul Toobian and constructed in 1931, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over recent years. Most notably, there has been a persistent rat infestation problem, with multiple inspections throughout 2023 to 2025 consistently showing rat activity and with bait applied in late 2024.
The building faced significant heat and hot water system challenges in August-September 2021, with multiple emergency complaints filed regarding both apartment-specific and building-wide issues, though these were ultimately resolved through HPD intervention. More recent violations show continuing maintenance oversight, including open Class A violations from 2023-2024 regarding failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD regulations.
Previous building conditions documented in 2022 include issues with garbage/recycling storage that resulted in HPD violations, though some related complaints were closed without violations being found. The building has also had various other maintenance issues, including a notable instance in 2022 requiring attention to ceiling repairs, fire retardant plaster, and maintenance of common areas on the third story. The property owner has faced challenges with permit compliance, as evidenced by two complaints from late 2018 regarding plumbing work, though inspectors were unable to gain access during their attempts to verify the conditions.
