1517 Fulton Street, Brooklyn, NY 11216

1517 Fulton Street, a four-story Old Law Tenement building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant and owned by Joyce Turner, has experienced several notable maintenance and compliance issues since 2018. Most recently, the building has accumulated multiple active violations for failure to file mandatory External Low Pressure Inspections between 2018-2023, with the most recent violation issued in September 2024.

The property has also faced ongoing administrative challenges regarding bedbug reporting, with four consecutive Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2021-2024, though the most recent bedbug report for the period of November 2022 to October 2023 indicates zero infested or re-infested units. The building's maintenance history reveals several significant events impacting resident safety and building integrity. In 2020, a defective/inoperative boiler issue was documented, and the following year, violations were issued for an unpermitted Crown boiler installation and debris accumulation in critical areas like the cellar and boiler room, resulting in penalties totaling $1,875.

In 2018, multiple complaints were filed regarding unauthorized construction work, including building shaking and structural stability concerns, which were ultimately resolved through the rescission of a Stop Work Order. The property has maintained relatively good rodent control in recent years, with both 2022 and 2024 inspections passing, though historical records from 2009-2010 indicated prior rat activity requiring bait application. The building has consistently obtained work permits, with the most recent being issued in October 2024, suggesting ongoing maintenance and improvements are being addressed through proper channels.
