415 Hart Street, Brooklyn, NY 11221

The four-story, eight-unit Old Law Tenement building at 415 Hart Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, managed by 415 Hart Street Management LLC, was constructed in 1931 and has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, during May 2025, there were multiple concerning incidents involving water leaks, mold, and door-related problems, with violations issued for some of these conditions.

The building has also faced challenges with water-related issues in the past, including a heavy flow water leak complaint in April 2025 and an emergency mold situation that required attention. An earlier incident from January 2020 involved a heat/hot water complaint that could not be inspected due to access issues.

The property has a documented history of violations and maintenance concerns, particularly regarding Unit 4R, which faced multiple issues in 2018 including defective carbon monoxide detectors, inadequate gas supply to fixtures, broken marble saddle replacement, and various fire safety concerns involving fire escapes and ladders. While recent bedbug reports from 2022-2024 show zero infested units, indicating effective pest management, the building experienced rat activity in 2022 according to rodent inspections, though subsequent inspections from 2023 through early 2025 have passed. The most recent set of housing violations primarily relates to water leaks, door frames, mold, and flooring issues, though many recent complaints have been closed without violations being found, suggesting some conditions may not have risen to the level of legal violations despite requiring attention.
