237 Stanhope Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237
This three-story, six-unit residential building located at 237 Stanhope Street in Bushwick, built in 1931 and owned by William Chun, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over recent years. Most notably, in early 2025, there was a heat and hot water complaint affecting the entire building. The building has had recurring issues with pest control, including confirmed rodent activity and rat sightings in 2024-2025, and multiple unsanitary conditions complaints related to pests and mold in 2021.
Safety concerns have been documented, including problems with window guards (particularly in 2023 in apartment 2L), fire escapes, and violations regarding building egress. The property has a history of compliance issues, with multiple violations regarding failure to properly maintain building systems and respond to notices. In 2021, there were violations related to hot water temperatures exceeding 130 degrees Fahrenheit in apartment 3R, and a documented cockroach infestation in apartment 1L.
The building has undergone various inspections that revealed problems needing correction, including hazardous fire safety issues in 2021-2022. Recent inspections in 2023 have shown continued maintenance concerns, including violations related to external low-pressure systems. While the building's bedbug reporting from 2021 onward shows zero infested units, the ongoing rodent activity inspections and recent heat complaints suggest persistent maintenance challenges. The most recent bedbug report from May 2025 indicates no current infestation, and the building passed a rodent inspection in April 2025, though previous inspections in 2024 noted rat activity.
