117 Pulaski Street, Brooklyn, NY 11206

The 4-unit, 4-story residential building at 117 Pulaski Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Igor Buzhaker, has experienced several notable maintenance issues since 2020. Most concerning are the recurring violations related to bedbug reporting compliance, with open Class A violations on record for 2023 and 2024.

The building's heating and hot water systems have also shown problems, most notably in February 2020 when both HPD and Housing Maintenance Code complaints were filed regarding heat and hot water issues, and a Class C violation was issued for excessive hot water temperatures in Apartment 1. The property has undergone multiple rodent inspections between 2022 and 2025, with varying results; while the most recent inspections in 2024-2025 passed, there were documented rat activity issues in late 2023 and earlier violations in 2022. The building's history includes several other violations requiring attention, such as an open Class B violation from February 2020 regarding encumbered public hallways on the first floor.

Bedbug reporting requirements seem to have been inconsistently addressed, with the most recent report from 2022 showing zero infested or re-infested units, despite previous annual violations. While the building has passed recent rodent inspections, the pattern of violations and service requests suggests ongoing challenges with both pest management and building system maintenance. It's noteworthy that the bedbug reporting violations have persisted across multiple years, indicating a recurring compliance issue with the required annual reporting process.
