1161 Fulton Street, Brooklyn, NY 11216

The four-story, three-unit residential building at 1161 Fulton Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Abdul Aboulessan and constructed in 1930, has experienced several noteworthy issues in recent years. Most concerning is the building's current deteriorating condition, with an active Environmental Control Board violation from January 2024 citing disrepair of the masonry wall with missing bricks and degraded mortar, for which a substantial penalty of $2,530 was imposed.

There have been repeated issues with maintaining proper documentation and compliance related to bedbug reporting, with Housing Maintenance Code violations recorded annually from 2021-2024 for failure to file the required reports, though recent filings (2025) show no reported infestations. The building has experienced persistent rodent issues, particularly in 2022 and early 2023, with multiple inspections revealing rat activity, though more recent inspections in 2024-2025 have shown passing results. The property has a history of issues requiring attention to building maintenance and compliance with regulations, including an active violation from 2018 concerning failure to comply with a community order, and a 2024 violation related to failing to certify correction of an immediately hazardous condition.

Between 2018 and 2024, there were several incidents involving debris and housekeeping concerns, including a 2018 finding of an obstructed entrance, though many of these issues appear to have been resolved over time. The building's permit history shows an equipment permit issued in 2018, though subsequent violations in 2022 related to unpermitted temporary construction equipment suggest past permit compliance issues. Recent rodent inspections in 2024-2025 indicate improvements in pest management, with the most recent inspection in March 2025 passing without issues.
