980 Fulton Street, Brooklyn, NY 11238

The three-story, two-family house at 980 Fulton Street in Clinton Hill, owned by Samantha White, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues since 2020 that warrant attention. Most notably, there have been consistent problems with heating and hot water systems, affecting both individual units and the entire building, with emergency complaints recorded in 2020, 2021, 2023, and 2024 following periods of inadequate service. Water-related issues have also been a concern, with multiple complaints about leaks—both heavy flow and slow leaks—between 2020 and 2024, though housing inspectors were often unable to gain access for proper evaluation.

The building has maintained relatively good rodent control, with recent inspections in 2024 and 2025 passing, though there were several rodent-related complaints between 2020 and 2025, including one in March 2025 that was promptly addressed. The property is currently facing multiple active violations related to external low-pressure inspections, with noncompliance noted for the years 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2022 as of June 2023. These violations have been open for approximately two years.

Additionally, there is one open violation from 2021 concerning visible mold conditions in Apartment 3's bathroom and kitchen areas. Earlier violations from 2020 regarding building safety requirements—such as posting carbon monoxide and gas leak procedures, smoke detector requirements, and heating system information in common areas—are also noteworthy, though their current status in the databases should be verified. While the building has had its share of maintenance challenges, the recent passing of rodent inspections and the generally prompt response to health department visits suggest some level of proactive management, though the persistence of heating system issues and water problems indicates ongoing infrastructure challenges that affect resident comfort and safety.
