2989 Fulton Street, Brooklyn, NY 11208

The three-story, five-unit tenement building at 2989 Fulton Street in Cypress Hills, owned by Naraine Singh, has significant and ongoing maintenance concerns since at least 2018. Most recently, in 2024, the building received an open violation regarding the failure to file required annual bedbug reports, marking the fourth consecutive year (2021-2024) this violation has been issued.

In late 2022, the building experienced heating system issues, as evidenced by a heat and hot water complaint from an apartment (closed by HPD) and an associated Housing Maintenance Code violation concerning inadequate hot water supply in the second-floor apartment 2L. Earlier safety concerns remain notable, including multiple open violations from December 2018 related to defective safety equipment in apartments 1R and 3R, specifically regarding smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors that require repair or replacement.

The building's history also reveals some concerning pest control issues, with several rodent activity reports between late 2017 and 2018 showing evidence of rat activity, though inspection results from 2012 suggest improved conditions by that date. More recent inspections have not documented any rodent issues, but the repeated bedbug reporting violations indicate ongoing challenges with compliance to housing safety requirements. An inspection in September 2023 regarding site conditions endangering workers resulted in no violations being found, though this is a separate matter from the building's persistent safety and maintenance issues.
