1501 Fulton Street, Brooklyn, NY 11216

The 3-unit, 4-story Old Law Tenement building at 1501 Fulton Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Olivienne Frankson, has experienced several concerning maintenance and safety issues over recent years. Most notably, there has been a recurring pattern of heat and hot water problems, with multiple complaints documented in 2022 and 2025, though inspectors were often unable to gain access for verification. In 2023, the building received several Class C violations related to rodent infestation in Apartment 2, along with violations regarding inadequate gas supply to kitchen fixtures, bathroom maintenance issues, and appliance repairs.

The property has also faced multiple challenges with building systems, including active Emergency violations regarding fire escape safety, door/window issues, and skylight maintenance as of 2025. The building's recent history shows persistent concerns with rodent activity, evidenced by multiple inspections and bait applications throughout 2024-2025. There are several active Department of Buildings violations from 2023 regarding failure to file required external low-pressure inspections.

Additionally, significant violations from 2019 remain active, concerning unauthorized plumbing modifications and improper use of gas connections in a restaurant area. While recent bedbug reports for 2023-2025 show no infestations, the building's maintenance record suggests ongoing challenges with basic services and infrastructure. The property has also faced some accessibility issues for inspectors, as noted in multiple complaint resolutions where access to units was not granted.
