1490 Fulton Street, Brooklyn, NY 11216

1490 Fulton Street is a 4-story, 3-unit Old Law Tenement building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, built in 1910 and currently owned by Jacob Aini. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues over the past few years, with multiple emergency complaints filed in late 2023 and throughout 2022, specifically on December 31, 2023, December 21, 2023, and several instances in January 2022. While some of these complaints were closed with inspections, the most recent complaints in December 2023 were marked as "unable to gain access" for inspection.

The building has had several violations and maintenance issues, particularly focused on the fourth floor (Apartment 4F) in 2022, including problems with smoke detectors, excessive hot water temperatures, door self-closing mechanisms, and visible mold around the bathroom tub area. Additionally, violations related to missing carbon monoxide detectors and requirements for bedbug reporting were noted in 2022 and 2023. The property underwent rodent inspections in 2022 and 2024, passing both inspections, and a food establishment-related complaint regarding rodents/insects/garbage was closed in June 2024.

Three "Work Without a Permit" complaints were filed in November 2022, though no violations were found upon inspection. Despite these issues, it's worth noting that the building has maintained an active bedbug reporting history from 2020 through 2024, consistently showing zero infested units or eradication needs during the reporting periods. Most recently, the building passed a rodent inspection in June 2024 and maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with the most recent report (December 2024) showing no infestation issues. While the heat and hot water problems represent the most significant ongoing maintenance challenge, the building's overall condition shows some stability in recent inspections, particularly regarding pest control.
