1265 Fulton Street, Brooklyn, NY 11216

At 1265 Fulton Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, an 8-unit, 5-story tenement built in 1910, the most pressing current concerns involve multiple recent plumbing issues. On October 31, 2024, the building experienced four simultaneous water supply complaints that were classified as immediate emergencies by the Housing Maintenance Code, with one specific violation noting inadequate hot and cold water supply in apartment 2R. These plumbing incidents led to several Housing Maintenance Code violations for failing to maintain proper water supply systems, though these were subsequently closed after certification on November 7, 2024.

The building has a history of maintaining bedbug-free status, with all annual reports from 2020 through 2025 showing zero infested units. While the building's permit history shows regular maintenance and project filings with the Department of Buildings between 2018-2020, including general alterations and equipment permits, there was one notable issue regarding the late filing of the 2017 boiler inspection report in 2020, though this violation was ultimately dismissed in late 2021. The property has generally demonstrated good maintenance practices in terms of pest control, with consistent passing grades on rodent inspections from 2021 through 2025, with the exception of a rat activity incident in early 2020.

Recent inspections from 2022 through 2025 have shown the building to be in compliance with most housing codes, though several violations were noted in late 2024 regarding the failure to properly post required safety notices about gas leaks, carbon monoxide detectors, and smoke detector requirements in common areas. These violations were promptly addressed and certified as corrected on November 7, 2024. While the building's age suggests typical maintenance and system upgrades would be expected, the recent cluster of plumbing complaints indicates there may be ongoing issues with the building's water supply infrastructure that warrant monitoring.
