The home side took the lead on two occasions, but a penalty from Danny Welbeck and a goal from Joel Veltman ultimately prevented them from claiming victory.
Jarrod Bowen opened the scoring for West Ham with a powerful counterattack before Welbeck equalized from the penalty spot.
The striker later had an opportunity to put the Seagulls ahead with another penalty, but his Panenka attempt hit the crossbar.
Lucas Paqueta successfully converted a penalty of his own to regain the lead for the Hammers just before halftime.
However, the advantage was short-lived, as Veltman took advantage of a poor clearance from Alphonse Areola to equalize the match for a second time.
This failure to secure a win has reduced West Ham's lead over 17th place Nottingham Forest to just four points.
