428 Hart Street, Brooklyn, NY 11221

The 6-unit, 3-story residential building at 428 Hart Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Andreas Steiner and dating back to 1899, has experienced recurring heating system issues over the past several years. The most recent incident occurred in March 2024, involving an apartment-specific heat and hot water complaint that could not be verified due to lack of access to the premises.

This follows a more recent history of heating problems, including a building-wide outage in January 2022 that was reportedly resolved by the time inspectors arrived, and another building-wide incident in December 2020 for which corrections were confirmed. Each of these heating-related complaints was classified as an emergency under the Housing Maintenance Code.

In addition to the heating issues, the building's maintenance record includes a plumbing complaint in March 2022 regarding defective or leaking systems, which resulted in an Oath Violation being served following an inspection. While the building has demonstrated some responsiveness to these issues, with many complaints being resolved upon inspection, the pattern of heating system problems over multiple years suggests ongoing infrastructure challenges. The building's classification as "HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS A" indicates it has undergone some form of conversion from its original use, which may provide additional context to its maintenance history.
