443 Pulaski Street, Brooklyn, NY 11221

The 443 Pulaski Street building in Bedford-Stuyvesant is a 4-story, 7-unit old law tenement constructed in 1901, currently owned by Steven Goldschmied. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past several years, with particular concerns about water-related problems and rodent activity. Most recently, in April 2024, the Department of Health reported rodent violations requiring follow-up inspections, with multiple rat activity detections documented throughout 2024, though the most recent June 2025 inspection resulted in a "Passed" status.

The building has faced several significant maintenance challenges, particularly related to water infrastructure. In 2023, there were multiple complaints about water leaks, including heavy flow issues that HPD was unable to inspect due to access problems, and multiple sewage-related incidents that required intervention from the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. The property has also experienced recurring heating system problems, with multiple heat/hot water complaints documented between late 2020 and early 2021, some involving the entire building and others limited to individual apartments.

Although these issues were generally addressed upon inspection, they indicate ongoing building maintenance concerns. The building's most recent building-wide inspections in 2023 revealed several violations requiring correction, including issues with fire safety materials and egress obstructions, though these violations have since been certified as corrected. The property has maintained a consistent record of bedbug-free status according to annual reporting requirements from 2022 through 2024, with no reported infestations or required eradications during these periods.
