185 Hull Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233
The three-story, three-unit residential building at 185 Hull Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Sherry Simon and constructed in 1899, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over the past few years. Most notably, there are open violations as of 2024 regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports, and a cluster of concerning violations from 2019 involving multiple apartments.
These include issues in Apartment 2 such as illegal conversion to rooming units, a problematic fire escape door lock, and unauthorized alterations, along with safety concerns in Apartment 3 related to missing carbon monoxide and smoke detectors. The building has a documented history of pest problems, with a significant unsanitary condition complaint in July 2019 leading to violations, and earlier heating system issues affecting the entire building in December 2018.
Emergency complaints in September 2019 also highlighted problems with electrical wiring and ceiling conditions, as well as fire escape safety. While the building has passed rodent inspections from 2016 through 2020, the pattern of maintenance issues and open violations, particularly regarding bedbug reporting requirements, suggests ongoing compliance challenges. An illegal conversion complaint was filed in August 2019, though the inspection in 2020 reportedly encountered access issues.
