464 Pulaski Street, Brooklyn, NY 11221

The 8-unit, 4-story Old Law Tenement building at 464 Pulaski Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Deodat Lowtan and constructed in 1931, has experienced multiple maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most notably, there was a heat and hot water outage affecting the entire building in November 2024, though these services were restored before the inspection.

Other recurring problems in 2024 included water leaks, unsanitary conditions with pests (including roaches and mice), and ventilation system issues, with violations issued in September 2024. The building has undergone various inspections and received multiple housing maintenance code violations, including issues with the roof, plaster surfaces, emergency safety measures, and fire escape obstructions, though most violations have been closed following certification of repairs. Recent documentation indicates the presence of rodent activity, with inspections showing "Rat Activity" in January 2024 and July 2024, though a passed inspection in July 2025 suggests some improvement.

The building also faced construction-related concerns in 2024, including a lead dust complaint and multiple reports of unauthorized work. While bedbug reports for the past several years show zero cases from 2019 through 2024, suggesting effective pest management in this regard, the building's maintenance history reflects ongoing challenges with basic services and building infrastructure. The property has generally complied with housing maintenance code requirements in recent months, as evidenced by multiple violation certifications in late 2024-early 2025, though the frequency of service requests and inspections indicates continued attention is needed to maintain basic living conditions.
