1492 Fulton Street, Brooklyn, NY 11216

The four-story, three-unit tenement building at 1492 Fulton Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Ahmed Almashraqi, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most notably, there are currently several open violations as of April 2024, including failure to file multiple annual low-pressure inspections between 2018-2023, and recent 2023 violations related to carbon monoxide safety requirements and bedbug reporting.

The building has also faced recurring water-related problems, with multiple complaints about heavy water leaks documented between 2022-2023, along with plumbing and flooring issues in Unit 4 that resulted in violations being issued in July 2023. The property has a concerning history of emergency-level safety complaints, particularly in late 2022, including three separate fire escape-related complaints and issues with electrical wiring and door security.

More recent inspections in 2024 and late 2023 revealed violations related to construction work without proper permits, including unauthorized electrical and plumbing work in a third-floor apartment, though some of these violations have been resolved with penalties. While the building has generally passed rodent inspections conducted in 2018, 2022, and most recently in 2024, the property has experienced various maintenance issues requiring HPD intervention, including heating problems, water leaks, and plumbing concerns. Notably, there is currently one open Department of Buildings complaint related to Local Law 188/17 compliance as of June 2025, representing an active concern that warrants attention.
