421 Stanhope Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237
421 Stanhope Street is a three-story, three-unit New Law tenement building located in Bushwick, built in 1901 and currently owned by Randy Reyes. The building has a significant history of housing maintenance and safety violations, most notably an ongoing pattern of failing to submit required annual bedbug reports from 2021 through 2024, with the most recent violation logged in April 2024 remaining open as of July 2025.
Between 2022 and 2024, there were multiple complaints regarding illegal conversions and unauthorized occupancy, including two complaints in July 2023 about illegal hotel rooms, and more recently in October 2024 related to illegal conversions, though inspectors were unable to gain access in several instances. The building has accrued multiple NYC Department of Buildings Environmental Control Board violations, all currently active, totaling over $25,000 in penalties.
These violations, issued in July 2023 and October 2024, include serious safety concerns such as lack of required egress, missing fire alarm system, inadequate natural light and ventilation, and improper conversion of the cellar level, which was allegedly partitioned into bedrooms with installed kitchen facilities without proper permits. Recent rat activity has been documented in inspections throughout 2024 and 2025, with the most recent inspections in March and May 2025 showing continued rodent presence, though the building passed some inspections in previous years. The property appears to be experiencing ongoing maintenance and compliance challenges that affect both safety and habitability.
