470 Pulaski Street, Brooklyn, NY 11221

The 30-unit, 5-story building at 470 Pulaski Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Aron Kapelyus, has undergone several significant maintenance and compliance events since 2019. The property has experienced recurring heating and hot water issues, with emergency complaints recorded in 2019 and 2022. Significant safety concerns emerged in 2020 when gas leaks were discovered in the boiler system, and issues were noted with electrical panels on stairways.

The building has consistently maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements from 2020 to present, with no reported infestations in the past four years. Regular rodent inspections since 2021 have shown passing results, though an initial rat activity report was recorded in February 2020. The building has faced multiple violations related to safety and maintenance, particularly during 2019-2020, including problems with fire stopping, remote gas burner shutdowns, and water penetration affecting ceilings and light fixtures.

These violations were generally resolved, with penalties paid, including a $625 gas leak violation and an $830 electrical panel violation. More recent building management has focused on compliance with energy reporting requirements, though there were several instances of failure to file benchmarking reports between 2019-2022. The most recent inspection data from 2025 shows continued compliance with rodent control measures, with the most recent inspections passing without issues. The building's management has demonstrated ongoing attention to regulatory requirements, as evidenced by regular bedbug reporting and successful resolution of most violations when cited.
