3005 Fulton Street, Brooklyn, NY 11208

3005 Fulton Street is a three-story, four-unit residential building in Cypress Hills, owned by Sean Sinnreich and constructed in 2012. The building has experienced persistent maintenance issues, with the most recent concerns emerging in late 2024 including violations for unsanitary conditions related to garbage/recycling storage (November 2024) and multiple open violations from February 2024 regarding inadequate heat, hot water, and cooking gas in Apartment 2R. These recent issues follow a pattern of heating and hot water problems documented through multiple 311 complaints between 2019 and 2024, with several emergency complaints requiring HPD intervention.

The building currently faces serious compliance issues, with active ECB violations from February 2024 regarding unauthorized modifications to the cellar level, including a sauna and multiple bathrooms, along with unauthorized conversion of the first floor and cellar into a gym with stand-up showers and sauna facilities. Historical records show various maintenance challenges, including a 2019 plumbing issue in Apartment 3R, and concerns about adjacent building stability were temporarily raised in 2019 but dismissed. The building's maintenance history also includes recurring requirements to file annual bedbug reports, as evidenced by multiple Class A violations from 2019 through 2024.

While there have been some successful repairs documented, such as the resolution of certain heating issues in 2021 and 2019, many violations remain open or have been repeatedly issued, indicating ongoing maintenance challenges. The property has undergone periodic rodent inspections between 2012-2017, with mixed results, including a failure noted in July 2017. Several emergency complaints have been filed over the years, particularly concerning heat and hot water issues, suggesting that maintenance problems have been a recurring concern throughout the building's relatively short history.
