249 Hull Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233

249 Hull Street is a three-story, eight-unit residential building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, owned by Dorothy Agbaje and constructed in 1900 as a New Law tenement. The building has experienced several concerning safety and maintenance issues over recent years.

Most notably, in October 2022, multiple violations were documented regarding safety systems, including non-functional smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, as well as a broken window guard, all of which received emergency responses from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). That same month, HPD also issued violations for mold conditions in apartment A and problems with the building's entrance security. The building currently faces multiple open violations as of June 2024 related to lead-based paint records and notifications, though these were previously noted in October 2022.

There are also several active Department of Buildings (DOB) violations concerning failure to file external low-pressure inspections between 2017 and 2023, suggesting ongoing issues with building maintenance compliance. In terms of pest management, the building has recorded complaints about pest issues in May 2024, though HPD could not gain access to verify these conditions. On a positive note, the building has maintained an active rodent control program with passing inspections in 2017, 2018, and 2020, and recent bedbug reports from 2023-2024 indicate no infestations, suggesting improvements in pest management over time.
