2891 Fulton Street, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The 3-story, 6-unit residential building at 2891 Fulton Street in Cypress Hills, currently owned by Aubry Watt, has a concerning record of maintenance issues spanning several years. Most recently, in October 2024, the building experienced heat and hot water problems affecting the entire structure, though inspectors from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) were unable to gain access to apartments for verification.

The building has been in apparent continuous violation of the Housing Maintenance Code regarding bedbug reporting requirements from 2021 through 2024, with open violations remaining from inspections conducted in April 2021, March 2022, March 2023, and April 2024. In April 2022, the building faced serious safety concerns with two active violations issued by the Environmental Control Board (ECB): one for broken windows and an open roof hatch at the rear of the second floor (with a penalty of $6,250), and another for excessive debris obstructing an exit passageway in the second-floor hallway (penalty of $1,250).

These violations suggest neglect of basic building safety standards. Additionally, a locked or blocked egress issue was documented and closed in April 2022. The only positive inspection result on record was a rodent inspection conducted in May 2012, which the building passed, though this is now significantly dated given the intervening years and the current state of documented violations.
