236 Pulaski Street, Brooklyn, NY 11206

236 Pulaski Street, a 4-story, 8-unit New Law Tenement built in 1906 and currently owned by Henry Walter, has experienced recurring maintenance issues in recent years, particularly in the second half of 2024 and into 2025. The building has multiple open violations as of March 2025, including problems with the intercom system, heat and hot water supply, and various door and window issues. Of particular concern is the most recent inspection on December 6, 2024, which revealed violations related to self-closing doors and a defective intercom system in apartment 3R6.

The property has also faced persistent pest issues, with multiple complaints about rodent infestations in late 2024 through early 2025, though recent inspections in June 2025 showed passed results for rodent inspections. The building has several active Department of Buildings violations related to the failure to file annual low-pressure inspection reports from 2018 to 2021, and a significant number of HPD complaints and violations between 2024 and 2025. These include issues with heat and hot water systems, window frames and panes, and safety equipment such as carbon monoxide detectors. While some complaints have been addressed and closed, many violations remain open as of the last available data.

The property has shown some improvement in handling pest control, with no reported bedbug infestations in the 2022-2023 period, and inspections in 2025 indicating either compliance or improved conditions, though there were multiple pest-related complaints in late 2024. The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with basic building systems and infrastructure, including heating, water supply, and security systems, particularly affecting apartment 3R. While the property has periodically addressed some issues through inspections and repairs, as evidenced by the closure of certain violations, there remain significant outstanding violations that require attention. The most recent inspections indicate both improvements and continuing challenges, particularly with maintaining compliance with various city regulations and ensuring consistent building system performance.
