231 Stanhope Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237

231 Stanhope Street is a three-story, six-unit Old Law Tenement building located in Bushwick, built in 1931 and currently owned by Roni Abudi. The property has experienced persistent heat and hot water system issues over recent years, with multiple emergency complaints filed through 311 services, particularly in late 2024 and throughout 2023.

These complaints often resulted in housing inspectors being unable to gain access to the affected apartments for evaluation. A December 2023 inspection revealed specific violations related to inadequate heat supply in Apartment 2L, improper boiler room access, and insufficient lighting in the basement boiler room, though these were subsequently certified as corrected. The building has also faced plumbing issues, as evidenced by a September 2023 complaint regarding bathtub/shower problems, and records indicate ongoing rat activity with multiple compliance checks failing to show improvement between 2023 and 2025.

The property has a history of various inspection and complaint patterns between 2022 and 2025, including one significant HVAC system violation from 2018 regarding unpermitted modifications to a wooden staircase, for which an active penalty was imposed. While the building has maintained a bedbug-free status in recent years based on official reports, the recurring heat and water supply problems remain a pressing concern. Inspection records show that while some violations have been resolved, the building continues to experience periodic issues with its heating system and pest control, as indicated by the repeated documentation of rodent activity in recent inspections.
