2946 Fulton Street, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The 3-unit building at 2946 Fulton Street in Cypress Hills, owned by Kamaran Shafaq, has a concerning record of maintenance issues and violations. Most recently, in July 2023, the building experienced problems with pests and water leaks, resulting in violations from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).

These followed a pattern of water-related issues, including a heavy flow leak reported in December 2022, and multiple water leak complaints in July 2022. The building has faced several infrastructure challenges, including electrical problems (no lighting) and a heat/hot water complaint in December 2022, though some of these complaints went unresolved due to lack of access for inspection. The property is currently facing multiple open violations stemming from an August 2023 inspection of apartment 2R, including issues with plastered surfaces, paint conditions, and a water leak in the bathroom ceiling.

Historical records show a troubling pattern of maintenance issues, including a rat infestation in 2012, rodent activity in 2019, and mold concerns in July 2022. While the building has had some improvements, as evidenced by the absence of bedbug reports in recent years (with the last recorded infestation being 0 units in the 2021-2022 reporting period), the persistent nature of plumbing, electrical, and pest issues suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The most recent inspection from April 2024 indicates the need for an annual bedbug report submission, though the documented history shows no active infestation during the 2022-2023 period.
