214 Hull Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233

214 Hull Street is a 4-story, 8-unit New Law tenement building constructed in 1910, currently owned by Isaac Schwimmer and located in the Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with multiple complaints reported throughout 2023-2025, including two emergency complaints in February 2025 regarding building-wide heat/hot water problems. The property has also faced several access-related inspection challenges, particularly concerning the intercom system and various maintenance issues, with multiple HPD inspectors unable to gain access to apartments for verification during 2024.

Notable maintenance problems have included a water leak in Apartment 1R (2022-2023), defective door issues (2024), and multiple heat/hot water complaints. While the building has passed recent rodent inspections (2020-2022) and maintained a zero infestation record in bedbug reports from 2019-2025, violations have been documented, including an active NYC Department of Buildings violation from 2019 regarding failure to file an annual boiler inspection report. The building's violation history shows a mix of closed and open issues, with significant problems documented in 2022-2023 affecting Apartment 1R, including heat supply, intercom system, and water leak concerns.

Several violations were closed in 2023, including a mice infestation issue and door repair requirements. The property has consistently filed bedbug reports showing zero infested units from 2019 to present, and rodent control measures were actively implemented in 2014, with subsequent inspections showing improved compliance. The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with basic services and system maintenance, particularly regarding heating infrastructure, though recent bedbug and rodent control records indicate effective management of these specific pest concerns.
