414 Stanhope Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237

The 6-unit, 3-story New Law Tenement at 414 Stanhope Street in Bushwick, built in 1931 and currently owned by S&Y Realty, has experienced several notable maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Between 2021 and 2022, the building faced multiple violations related to door safety and emergency preparedness, including problems with self-closing doors in the public hall and apartment 3R, as well as missing required notices for smoke detector requirements and gas leak procedures.

A bedbug reporting violation was recorded in March 2022, though subsequent reports from 2022 through 2024 consistently show zero infested units, suggesting successful eradication. The building has also undergone rodent inspections, with findings of rat activity in initial inspections in 2024, 2022, and 2021, though compliance inspections in 2025 and 2024 showed passing results. Remarkably, the building's most recent bedbug reports from 2023-2024 show no infestations, with a consistent pattern of zero infested or re-infested units since 2021.

The building's history shows a mix of minor safety violations primarily during 2021 related to door closure mechanisms and safety notices, all of which are documented as having been addressed. Rodent control has been an ongoing concern, with initial inspections showing rat activity in 2024 and 2022, though these issues appear to have been addressed based on subsequent compliance results. The property's record demonstrates an ability to respond to and correct most violations, particularly with regard to bedbug management, though the recurring nature of some rodent activity findings suggests this remains a periodic challenge.
