219 Hull Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233

219 Hull Street is a 6-unit, 3-story old law tenement building constructed in 1911, currently owned by Steve Makowsk. The property has experienced several notable maintenance issues over recent years, with the most significant cluster of problems occurring between late 2020 and 2021.

During this period, multiple complaints regarding unsanitary conditions (including mold and pest infestations), plumbing issues, and problems with doors and windows were filed, though many of these complaints were closed without inspection due to lack of access. Notably, Apartment 3R faced several violations in December 2020, including issues with plaster surfaces, unsafe electrical wiring, and pest infestations, with some violations classified as Class C for rodent (mice and roaches) infestations. The building's history includes three complaints to the Department of Buildings in 2019 regarding work without permits, illegal conversion, and building stability concerns, with violations issued related to unauthorized alterations in Apartment 1L and exterior stucco disrepair.

These violations were resolved, but there was a subsequent Environmental Control Board violation in 2020 for failure to comply with previous orders. More recently, the building has maintained a pest-free status according to Bedbug Reporting records from 2021 through 2025, with no reported infestations in any units during this period. While the property has demonstrated improvement in recent years, with no new major violations since 2020, it's important to note that many past complaints were closed due to inspectors' inability to gain access rather than definitive resolution of the reported issues.
