1470 Fulton Street, Brooklyn, NY 11216

The four-story, three-unit residential building at 1470 Fulton Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Dwain Obermuller, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, particularly in 2025. Most recently, there have been multiple complaints regarding doors, windows, and unsanitary conditions, including mold and pest issues, between February and March 2025. The property has also generated multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations, with the most concerning issues documented in January 2023 involving lead paint hazards, pest infestation (specifically roaches), and various maintenance deficiencies in Apartment 4R.

Structural concerns have been documented through complaints about building shaking in March 2024 and issues with the front facade cornice, which had partially collapsed and required emergency repairs with associated penalties. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of recurring issues, including multiple HPD inspections in 2025 where violations were issued for doors, windows, flooring, and unsanitary conditions. Notably, there have been several failed inspection attempts, indicating potential difficulties in accessing the property for inspections.

The property has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, showing zero infested units in the most recent reports from 2024. Compliance with rodent control requirements has been demonstrated through passing inspections in 2022 and 2024. The owner has faced several Department of Buildings violations, including a significant one regarding the deteriorated cornice in 2024, though some violations were ultimately dismissed following repairs. While there have been multiple maintenance issues requiring attention, recent months show some improvement in response and resolution times, with several complaints being closed in 2025, though many violations from earlier inspections remain open as of the latest data.
