3225 Fulton Street, Brooklyn, NY 11208

The 4-unit, 3-story tenement building at 3225 Fulton Street in Cypress Hills, owned by Abrahim Kassim, has faced recurring issues with heating and hot water systems, particularly evident in the first half of 2025. There have been multiple emergency complaints from January 2025 alone, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building, with some complaints being duplicates of previous reports. These heating system problems appear to be an ongoing concern, with similar complaints dating back to December 2023.

The building is currently facing several open violations as of April 2024, including issues with required safety notices and documentation, such as carbon monoxide detector requirements, smoke detector requirements, and bedbug reporting. Other notable violations from December 2023 inspections include the need to remove encumbering household items from the public hall on the 3rd story, and the requirement to post various safety-related notices in the building's common areas. Prior to 2025, the building underwent several inspections and received various complaints throughout 2023, including reports of pests, electrical issues, and plumbing problems, though inspections in May-July 2023 found no violations for these specific issues.

The building's historical maintenance record shows a pattern of heating system-related complaints, going back as far as 2016 when rodent activity was documented, though a March 2012 rodent inspection resulted in a passing grade. While the most recent complaints primarily concern heating and hot water systems, the violations requiring attention to safety notices and documentation suggest ongoing maintenance and safety compliance challenges for the property. The building's age (constructed in 1915) and classification as a "New Law Tenement" highlight its status as an older residential property subject to specific regulatory requirements.
