294 Stanhope Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237

294 Stanhope Street is a 3-story, 6-unit old law tenement building located in Bushwick, built in 1931 and currently owned by Robert Napolitano. The building has experienced persistent pest management challenges, particularly with rodent activity, as evidenced by multiple inspections and bait applications throughout 2024 and 2023. The most recent rodent inspection in January 2025 passed, but there were repeated occurrences of rat activity and bait applications prior to this.

The property has maintained an annual bedbug report compliance record from 2023-2024 showing no infested units, though previous years had some violations related to this requirement. The building's most significant code violations occurred in October 2021, primarily affecting apartment 1L and encompassing multiple safety concerns including defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, safety door issues, roach infestation, water leak problems, and wall condition deficiencies. These violations were subsequently addressed and closed.

Regular maintenance concerns have been documented through 311 service requests, including issues with wiring, walls, plumbing, and sanitation conditions. The building's most recent inspection records show ongoing compliance efforts, with an active Local Law 188/17 inspection complaint filed in July 2024, though the inspector was unable to gain access on the first attempt. While the building has had its share of maintenance challenges, recent records indicate improved compliance with pest management requirements and safety regulations, though periodic inspections still reveal some maintenance concerns.
