1011 Fulton Street, Brooklyn, NY 11238

The 4-story, 9-unit residential building at 1011 Fulton Street in Clinton Hill, owned by Paul Mc David, has experienced several notable maintenance issues in recent years. The most concerning recent events occurred in early 2025, when multiple emergency complaints were filed regarding electrical wiring, water leaks, and paint/plaster problems affecting ceilings, walls, and floors. Unfortunately, HPD inspectors were unable to gain access to investigate these complaints despite leaving notification cards and sending follow-up letters.

The building has also faced structural and safety concerns, as evidenced by active violations from 2024 related to unauthorized vertical extension work and associated disrepair. These violations include an ECB citation for failure to maintain the building and work conducted without proper permits, with a penalty of $625 imposed. In the past, the building has had multiple violations related to fire safety and emergency preparedness, including issues with fire escape access, emergency signage, and carbon monoxide detection requirements, though some of these appear to have been addressed.

The property has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, showing zero infestation cases in recent years, and passed its most recent rodent inspection in early 2024. However, there are persistent concerns regarding moisture issues, as evidenced by repeated water leak complaints, including a heavy flow incident in 2020 that resulted in violations. The building's management has also faced scrutiny for failing to maintain proper documentation for various inspections, including external low pressure inspections from 2018-2021, which has resulted in active violations that remain open as of mid-2023. While some historical issues have been resolved, such as past rodent and pest-related complaints, the recent pattern of inspection access issues and persistent maintenance complaints, particularly regarding water and electrical systems, suggests ongoing challenges with building maintenance and inspection cooperation.
