1225 Fulton Street, Brooklyn, NY 11216

The four-story, three-unit residential building at 1225 Fulton Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Michael Gould, has experienced several significant maintenance issues, particularly during the winter of 2022. Most notably, there was a cluster of heating and hot water system problems in February 2022, with multiple emergency complaints from both the entire building and individual apartments, including verified violations related to inadequate heat and hot water supply. Additionally, a plumbing issue affecting the water supply was reported and subsequently corrected during the same period.

The building has more recently faced challenges with sanitary conditions, as evidenced by a pest-related complaint generated in July 2024 that HPD was unable to inspect due to access issues. Despite these issues, there have been some positive developments regarding building maintenance. The property has passed multiple rodent inspections between 2022 and 2025, including three consecutive passes in 2024-2025, indicating improved pest management.

The building's bedbug reporting for the period of November 2022 to October 2023 shows no infestation cases, though it should be noted that there were three separate bedbug-related violations issued in early 2022. Other compliance matters have been addressed, including a violation regarding door security and fire escape access in apartment 4, which was classified as an open violation at the time of inspection. The most recent inspection data shows the building remains subject to regular oversight, with all recent housing maintenance code violations being marked as closed, though several historical violations remain on record from 2022, including requirements for annual bedbug reporting and proper inspection certificate posting.
