98 Pulaski Street, Brooklyn, NY 11206

98 Pulaski Street is a 3-story, 6-unit New Law tenement building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, constructed in 1931 and currently owned by Claudette Henry. The building has faced several recurring issues since 2023, most notably with water leaks, heating system problems, and maintenance violations. Recent inspections and service requests from 2025 show ongoing concerns with both slow water leaks and heating systems, with multiple complaints about heat and hot water issues affecting the entire building in early 2025.

The building is currently facing active violations related to external low-pressure inspection requirements from 2018-2024, with fines totaling over $10,000. The property has experienced various infrastructure and safety concerns in recent years, including multiple instances of rat activity noted during inspections between 2023-2025, though some inspections passed. Of particular concern are the current open violations affecting apartments 1B and 3B, documented in 2024, relating to water leaks and damaged plaster surfaces. Recent emergency service requests from May 2025 indicate problems with smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and sprinklers.

Historical records show persistent issues with egress and safety compliance, as evidenced by multiple Environmental Control Board violations related to egress maintenance between 2018-2021, with some violations remaining active as of 2021. The building has maintained a clean record in recent bedbug inspections, showing no infestations reported from 2022-2025. The data suggests a pattern of water-related issues, safety concerns, and maintenance violations spanning several years, with the most recent complaints focusing on infrastructure problems such as water leaks, heating systems, and interior finishes. The building's age and history as a New Law tenement appear to contribute to ongoing maintenance challenges, with multiple open violations requiring attention.
