315 Stanhope Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237

The 6-unit, 3-story old law tenement building at 315 Stanhope Street in Bushwick, owned by Deodat Lowtan, has experienced several recurring maintenance and health issues since 2021. Most recently, in January 2024, there was a heat and hot water violation issued for apartment 1R.

Between 2022 and 2024, the building has faced persistent heat and hot water problems, with four separate emergency complaints in early 2022 alone, though many of these inspections were hindered by the inability to access units. The building has also undergone multiple rodent inspections in the past year, with the most recent showing rat activity in July 2025, continuing a troubling pattern of pest issues that span several years. Additional structural concerns have been documented, including a 2021 complaint regarding building vibrations and a 2021 ECB violation noting a defective bathroom floor in apartment 3L, though some violations from 2021-2022 were subsequently resolved.

The property's maintenance history shows some progress in certain areas, such as the yearly bedbug reports filed since 2020 showing no infestations, and multiple rat inspections in 2023-2024 that passed or failed for other reasons, indicating ongoing monitoring. However, the recurring nature of heat/hot water issues, combined with consistent rodent activity as recently as 2025, suggests ongoing challenges with building maintenance. The building's age (constructed in 1931) and classification as an old law tenement may contribute to these persistent issues, though specific details on recent maintenance improvements or changes to management practices are not available in the provided data.
