1409 Fulton Street is a 7-story, 24-unit mixed-use building in Bedford-Stuyvesant, built in 1910 and currently owned by Moses Karpen. The property has experienced significant maintenance challenges in recent years, particularly in 2025, with multiple complaints regarding indoor air quality, mold, and unsanitary conditions related to garbage storage. While many of these complaints were investigated and closed without finding violations, they suggest ongoing maintenance issues.

The building has a documented history of water-related problems, with several complaints and violations related to leaks and dampness, particularly affecting Apartment 7A, which has open violations for defective plastered surfaces and leak repairs as of September 2023. The property has also faced challenges with rodent control, with rat activity noted in 2024 inspections, though recent inspections have passed. Historical records show recurring issues with the building's elevator system, with multiple complaints between 2018-2022 regarding single-device operation and no alternate service, though inspections often found no violations.

Environmental concerns have persisted, with violations related to mold in the gym area and maintenance of fire doors in 2022. The building's management has generally responded to violations, as evidenced by some being properly certified as corrected, though some recent complaints remain unresolved. Notably, the building has maintained a clean record for bedbug infestations over the past several years, with no reported cases from 2019 through 2024.
