167 Pulaski Street, Brooklyn, NY 11206

The 3-story, 3-unit residential building at 167 Pulaski Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Annie Durden, has experienced several notable maintenance issues since 2021. In November 2021, there were complaints about heat/hot water and water supply problems, which were classified as emergency situations; while the HPD was able to inspect the latter issue and found no violations, they were unable to gain access to inspect the heat/hot water complaint.

More recently, the building has had persistent compliance issues regarding bedbug reporting, with open violations from 2021 through 2024 related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD rules. Additionally, there is an open Class B violation from May 2019 concerning inadequate lighting at the front entranceway. On a more positive note, the building has demonstrated recent improvements in rodent control, with all inspections in 2023 and 2024 passing the initial inspections, including the most recent inspection in July 2025.

However, there were documented instances of rat activity in 2022, specifically in January and July, indicating that this was an issue the building faced during that time period. The building, which is classified as HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS A, was constructed in 1910 and has been subject to various housing maintenance codes over its lifetime. As of July 2025, the most pressing outstanding violations appear to be related to the bedbug reporting requirements, while the building has successfully addressed its rodent control issues in recent years.
