319 Pulaski Street, Brooklyn, NY 11206

The three-story, two-family house at 319 Pulaski Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Frank Tehrani and built in 1899, has a mixed maintenance history over the past several years. The property experienced several notable incidents in late 2021, with emergency water leak and door maintenance complaints being filed with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) on November 30, 2021; however, inspectors were unable to gain access to assess these issues, resulting in closed complaints without resolution. Previous concerns included a rat sighting reported to the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) in July 2019.

More significant issues emerged in early 2022, when multiple Department of Buildings (DOB) complaints were logged between February and March 2022, including unauthorized construction work and occupancy violations. An inspection on March 15, 2022, revealed illegal occupancy of a unit without proper Certificate of Occupancy documentation, leading to a violation being issued against the owner. Two additional complaints from February 2022 documented denied access to inspect ongoing construction activities lacking proper permits.

Fortunately, all these violations were subsequently resolved with no penalties imposed. On a positive note, the building has maintained consistent rodent control compliance over the past three years, with regular inspections showing passing results from 2019 through 2025. The most recent inspection in May 2025 also passed, indicating effective pest management efforts. While the building's history shows some concerning patterns regarding access issues and unauthorized modifications in early 2022, the property has since demonstrated improved maintenance practices, particularly in terms of pest control compliance.
