103 Hull Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233

103 Hull Street is a three-story, three-unit Old Law Tenement building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant and owned by Yossef Koral. The property, constructed in 1920, is currently facing significant structural and maintenance challenges as of 2024. Most notably, there are active violations concerning external wall bulging, water damage, and termite issues, particularly on the second exposure wall, with the Department of Buildings requiring emergency shoring and repair work.

The building has experienced recurring heating and hot water system failures, with multiple emergency complaints filed in both 2023 and 2024, alongside persistent plumbing issues affecting various fixtures throughout the building. Several violations from early 2024 document problems with heat, hot water, water supply, mold, and general maintenance, particularly affecting the first-floor apartment, which is currently subject to multiple open violations under the Housing Maintenance Code. The property has a complex history with maintenance and safety concerns extending beyond 2024.

There are active Environmental Control Board violations from January 2024 regarding obstructed fire escape access and unauthorized alterations in the cellar level, including the creation of an illegal apartment with bathroom and cooking facilities. Historical data shows a pattern of heating system failures, plumbing issues, and occasional fire safety concerns, including an emergency complaint about building shakiness in early 2024 that resulted in a full vacate order. The building's maintenance record indicates periods of bedbug infestations in 2020-2022 (with two infested units reported in 2021), though rodent inspections in 2018 and 2020 showed acceptable conditions. Recent inspections have revealed multiple structural and safety concerns that require immediate attention, including deteriorating wall conditions, inadequate fire escape access, and potential habitability issues in the former cellar apartment.
