2138 Fulton Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233

2138 Fulton Street is a 3-unit, 3-story Old Law Tenement building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Pelham Bollers. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past several years, with the most recent concerns focused on water leaks, including a slow leak reported in February 2023 that resulted in violations. Water-related problems have been particularly persistent, with multiple heavy flow leak complaints documented between 2019-2022, and emergency responses from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).

The building has also faced challenges with heating systems, experiencing multiple heat and hot water complaints between 2019 and 2022, though in some cases, inspectors were unable to access units for verification. Recent inspections in 2024 revealed several open violations, including a need for repairs and cleaning in public hall areas on the first and third stories, as well as requirements for proper lighting and maintenance of the staircase walls. Previous violations from 2023 showed issues with mold in Apartment 1B's bathroom, door locks in Apartment 3B, and violations related to smoke and carbon monoxide detectors that have since been closed.

The building's pest management history shows one documented case of bedbugs in 2022-2023, though recent filings through 2024 indicate no current infestations. The property has undergone periodic rodent inspections, with rat activity recorded in November 2022, though a compliance inspection in December 2022 resulted in a "Passed" rating. While many past violations have been addressed and closed, the presence of open violations as of October 2024 suggests ongoing maintenance and safety concerns warranting attention.
