224 Stanhope Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237

224 Stanhope Street is a 6-unit, 3-story Old Law Tenement building located in Bushwick, Brooklyn, owned by Spiro Grigoropoulos and dating back to 1931. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past several years, with the most recent cluster of problems occurring in February 2023, including door-related issues and pest infestations, though these complaints were subsequently resolved or closed by HPD.

The building's history shows ongoing concerns with both pest control and maintenance, including a period of unsanitary garbage/recycling storage conditions reported in late 2021, which was also resolved without violations. Recent inspections have revealed consistent rodent activity, with the most notable occurrences documented in March and April 2025, following the pattern of reporting and addressing pest concerns that has characterized the building for several years.

Despite these challenges, the building has maintained a clean record with respect to bedbug infestations, with all annual reports since 2019 confirming zero affected units. An illegal conversion complaint was filed in February 2025, though inspections in April 2025 found no violations warranting further action. The building has undergone regular housing maintenance inspections, with some generating emergency and non-emergency complaints, primarily focusing on door frames and general maintenance issues, though most of these complaints have been resolved without formal violations being issued.
