232 Hull Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233

232 Hull Street is a two-story, two-family residential building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, built in 1901 and currently owned by Chaskel Horowitz. The property has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues over the past few years, most notably regarding safety and habitability concerns. In October 2024, there was a safety complaint regarding a broken or missing window guard, though an HPD inspector was unable to gain access for inspection despite follow-up communications. The building has a history of maintenance violations from 2004, including issues with bathroom tiles, kitchen ceilings, and various plumbing fixtures, though these were certified as corrected in 2019.

More recent and serious concerns emerged in 2020, when three active ECB violations were issued regarding illegal cellar occupancy, lack of egress, and unpermitted work, with fines totaling $7,500. These violations remained active as of 2022, though records indicate they were resolved with no penalties due. The building has undergone regular rodent inspections between 2014 and 2022, with most recent inspections showing compliance. The property has recorded several complaints and violations related to building systems and safety.

In 2024, there were two complaints regarding vent/exhaust issues, though inspectors were denied access to investigate. Between 2019-2020, there were multiple enforcement actions related to construction work, after-hours work, and other building code concerns. The building's maintenance history shows both resolved and ongoing concerns, with particular attention needed to recent safety issues. While many historical violations have been addressed, the property has demonstrated patterns of compliance challenges that warrant monitoring.
