169 Hull Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233

169 Hull Street is a 5-story, 8-unit residential building in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Darren Singer and constructed in 2020. Recent records from 2024-2025 show an active violation regarding the building's altered/changed occupied status without a valid certificate of occupancy, with a penalty of $1,250 still due. The building's history reveals several significant maintenance issues, particularly in 2021, when multiple complaints were filed regarding water leaks and paint/plaster problems, primarily affecting apartment 1B.

These violations generated emergency and non-emergency housing maintenance code complaints, though inspections ultimately found no violations warranting further penalties. The building experienced recurring rodent issues in its early years, with multiple inspections between 2017-2020 showing varying results, including instances of rat activity. During construction in 2020, several safety violations were noted, including missing guardrails and unprotected equipment on sidewalks, resulting in penalties of $2,500.

There were also multiple complaints in 2021 related to illegal after-hours work and unauthorized commercial use, though inspections generally found no violations. The property has maintained a zero-infested dwelling unit count for bedbugs in its most recent annual reports from 2022 to 2024. While there were various violations and service requests in the building's history, most have been resolved through inspections, with the exception of the current occupancy-related violation as of September 2024.
