400 Stanhope Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237

The three-story, six-unit tenement building at 400 Stanhope Street in Bushwick, owned by Alex Ludlum, has a complex history since its construction in 1910. Most recently, in 2024, the building experienced multiple pest-related issues, with complaints filed in March and June regarding rodent conditions and unsanitary conditions, though inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development found no violations.

A significant mold violation was documented in August 2024 in Apartment 5, which was certified as resolved in January 2025. The building's rodent inspection records show a pattern of monitoring, with passed inspections in 2024 and 2025, though there were earlier instances of rat activity noted in 2015, 2016, and 2022.

In terms of building modifications and compliance, there appears to have been a vertical enlargement project adding a fourth floor, which was subject to a $1,250 penalty in 2018 for occupying without a valid certificate of occupancy, though this violation has since been resolved. The property has maintained a clean record for bedbug infestations over the past eight reporting periods from 2019 to 2024, with zero cases reported in all units. The building has undergone regular inspections and maintained compliance with various housing codes, though the recent pattern of pest-related complaints suggests ongoing challenges with building maintenance and sanitation.
