229 Stanhope Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237
229 Stanhope Street is a 3-story, 6-unit New Law tenement building constructed in 1931 in Bushwick, currently owned by Yu Wang. The building has experienced recurring heating and safety system issues, most recently highlighted by multiple open violations from a December 2024 inspection that found problems with heat supply, smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and access to the heating system.
These violations, including a locked boiler room door and missing self-closing doors, suggest significant safety concerns that remained unresolved as of January 2025. The building has had multiple rat activity reports throughout 2024-2025, with compliance inspections consistently showing evidence of rodent presence, though recent inspections indicate some baiting efforts were applied.
The property has maintained a clean bedbug record, with three consecutive annual reports (2022-2024) showing zero infested units. Historical records show a potentially concerning pattern of maintenance issues, including an active DOB violation from April 2023 related to an unfiled external low-pressure inspection and a 2019 DOB complaint regarding unauthorized plumbing work. While the building passed initial health inspections for rodents in 2025, the frequency of rat activity reports and the recent heating system violations suggest ongoing maintenance and safety challenges within the building.
