157 Pulaski Street, Brooklyn, NY 11206
The three-story, four-unit residential building at 157 Pulaski Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Moses Parnes and constructed in 1931, has experienced ongoing rodent issues over the past years, with the most recent inspections in 2025 continuing to show rat activity, though some inspections passed with minor violations. The building's maintenance record reveals significant historical events, including a fire incident in 2013 that affected all four apartments, requiring restoration of damaged walls and ceilings.
More recent concerns include persistent issues with the boiler system, as evidenced by multiple violations and penalties, including an active violation from December 2023 related to expired permits and various equipment issues, with a penalty of $625.00 currently due. The property has also faced challenges with construction work, including a Partial Stop Work Order in 2022, and violations related to building maintenance, such as the failure to maintain proper lighting at the front entrance (2019) and several ECB violations regarding building walls and appurtenances from 2018-2019, though these have been resolved. The building's current status shows open Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2024 and 2023 related to bedbug reporting requirements, though the building was reported as free of bedbug infestations during the 2020-2021 reporting period.
Recent inspections have shown inconsistent results regarding rodent control, with multiple instances of rat activity recorded between 2023 and 2025, though some inspections have passed. The property has also experienced water-related issues, with a heavy water leak complaint in 2021 that was investigated but resulted in no violations being issued. While some violations in the past have been dismissed or resolved, including several related to boiler inspection requirements, the building continues to face challenges with both pest control and maintenance compliance, as evidenced by the open violations and recent inspection results.
