173 Hull Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233

The three-story, three-unit building at 173 Hull Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Jiaxin Wang and constructed in 2006, has experienced several maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most concerning problems emerging in the last year. As of December 2023, there are multiple open violations in Apartment 3, including issues with mold, leaking roof, door repairs, window guards, and various problems with bathroom and kitchen fixtures. Notable recent incidents include a December 2023 heat/hot water complaint (closed with no violations), and multiple water-related issues in 2022 (both slow and heavy leaks) that resulted in violations.

The building has a documented history of electrical problems, with service requests for power outages and lighting issues in 2020, and more recent electrical concerns in 2022. A concerning sanitary condition involving mold was reported in late 2021, also resulting in violations. The property has undergone rodent inspections, with a failed inspection in 2020 and successful inspections in 2017 and 2018, suggesting fluctuating pest control effectiveness.

The building's recent history shows consistent maintenance challenges, particularly in Apartment 3, which appears to be experiencing the most significant ongoing issues. It's worth noting that the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with all recent annual reports (2021-2025) showing zero infested units. While some historical issues have been marked as "no violations" upon inspection, the pattern of repeated complaints and ongoing violations, particularly in the past two years, indicates persistent maintenance challenges requiring attention.
