334 Hart Street, Brooklyn, NY 11206

334 Hart Street is a four-story, 8-unit residential building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, built in 1931 and currently owned by Alexander Guth. The building has experienced recurring heating system issues over the past two years, with multiple emergency service requests related to heat and hot water problems affecting the entire building. Most recently, in March 2025, there were heat and hot water complaints, and in February 2025, there were radiator plumbing issues that HPD inspectors were unable to access during their attempts to investigate.

An inspection in April 2023 resulted in violations related to inadequate heat supply, which were later certified as corrected. The building's infrastructure has faced several challenges, including an active ECB violation from February 2024 regarding boiler and piping system issues with a $625 penalty. There have been multiple 311 complaints about heat and hot water problems, particularly concentrated in the spring of 2023 when several similar complaints were filed by different tenants.

Additional concerns have included violations related to fire escape obstructions and various maintenance issues in individual apartments, though many of these historical violations appear to have been addressed. Recent inspections have shown ongoing rodent activity, with multiple bait applications recorded in early 2025, and at least two inspections noting rat activity. The building has maintained a bedbug-free record according to the official HPD filings from 2021 through 2024. While the building has experienced several maintenance issues over the years, many of the historical violations have been resolved, though the recent pattern of heating system complaints and rodent activity suggests continued challenges with building maintenance and systems infrastructure.
