3430 Fulton Street, Brooklyn, NY 11208

The three-story, two-family house at 3430 Fulton Street in Cypress Hills, owned by Christine Chik and constructed in 1920, has experienced numerous significant maintenance issues over the past year. Most notably, there are current open violations as of November 2024 in Apartment 3 related to safety equipment, including missing carbon monoxide detectors and smoke detectors, as well as multiple maintenance issues including defective windows, plaster damage, and water leaks affecting the walls.

The building has also faced persistent heating and hot water system problems, with recent complaints in November 2024 regarding the entire building's heating system still remaining open, though similar complaints from earlier months were temporarily addressed. The property has had ongoing pest control challenges, with multiple violations issued in June 2024 for pest infestations, and recent rodent inspection reports from 2024 through 2025 consistently showing rat activity, despite monthly bait application efforts.

In addition to the aforementioned issues, the building has documented multiple violations and maintenance concerns between 2024 and 2025, including general electrical problems (notably no lighting situations), intercom system failures, and various unsanitary conditions. The Department of Housing Preservation and Development has conducted inspections revealing multiple violations requiring attention, particularly focusing on problems in Apartment 3. While some complaints have been closed following inspection (either with or without violations), many critical issues, particularly regarding heat/hot water systems and pest control, have remained persistent throughout 2024 and into 2025, indicating ongoing maintenance challenges at this property.
