153 Pulaski Street, Brooklyn, NY 11206

153 Pulaski Street is a two-family residential building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Yidi Mayer. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues, particularly during a period of multiple violations recorded in 2012, which were only certified as resolved in 2023.

These violations included unsafe carbon monoxide (CO) detector requirements, an illegal double-cylinder lock on the entrance door, fire-retardant ceiling repairs needed in the first floor hallway, and multiple plumbing issues in the second-story apartment (including bathtub faucet problems and bathroom valve connections). The building has maintained a clean bedbug record over the past six years, with no reported infestations or eradications between 2019 and 2024.

However, recent inspections for rodent activity present a concerning pattern; between January 2025 and July 2025, there were three instances of rat activity detected, including an "Initial" inspection on July 15, 2025, with a "Passed" status immediately prior on July 1, 2025. Prior to this, the building had generally passed rodent inspections from 2022 through 2024, with only one recorded instance of rat activity in January 2025, suggesting possible ongoing pest management challenges. The property's recent violations have primarily been resolved, with the most notable being the installation of required CO detectors, which received certification of compliance in March 2023.
