193 Hull Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233

The three-story, three-unit tenement building at 193 Hull Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Jermaine Beckford, has experienced recurring maintenance and safety issues in recent years, particularly in 2023. Most notably, there were multiple identical complaints in July 2023 regarding unsanitary conditions, including sewage problems, mold, pests, and ceiling paint/plaster issues, all of which were inspected by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) and closed with no violations issued. Earlier in 2023, the building faced significant problems with heat and hot water systems, particularly affecting Unit 2, which received violations for inadequate hot water supply.

The property has also accumulated various Housing Maintenance Code violations, including an open Class A violation from April 2024 regarding bedbug reporting requirements, an open Class B violation concerning building entrance door issues, and multiple open violations related to mold, pest infestations (specifically mice and roaches), and maintenance of the rear yard. The building's inspection history reveals ongoing concerns with pest control and sanitation, with multiple 311 service requests regarding unsanitary conditions throughout 2023, including garbage storage problems and mold. While the building has passed several rodent inspections between 2011 and 2018, a failed inspection in March 2020 raises concerns about ongoing pest control challenges.

The property had periods of heat and hot water system problems in 2023, with multiple complaints filed and violations noted. Although some violations from 2023 were subsequently closed, several remain open as of the latest records, including those related to heating system access and carbon monoxide detectors. The building's age (constructed in 1910) and classification as an Old Law Tenement suggest it may require ongoing attention to maintain modern housing standards, particularly regarding moisture control and pest management.
