49 Hart Street, Brooklyn, NY 11206

Located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, 49 Hart Street is a three-story, four-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1931 and currently owned by Staviolo Philippe. The property has experienced significant construction activity and regulatory scrutiny over recent years, with multiple Department of Buildings complaints in early 2025 regarding work contrary to stop work orders, including illegal construction and modifications to height and roof structures.

Open violations from 2022-2024 persist concerning the failure to file required annual bedbug reports, and there are several active Environmental Control Board violations related to construction practices and property maintenance, including improper front yard planting and unpermitted construction work. The building's recent history includes safety concerns, with complaints in 2023 regarding fire escape conditions, though inspections found no violations in that instance. Indoor air quality issues related to construction dust were reported and addressed in mid-2023.

While rodent inspections have generally shown compliance with health standards, there were three failed inspections between 2022-2023, though more recent inspections in 2024-2025 have passed. The property has undergone various repairs and maintenance work, evidenced by multiple complaints and inspections, including those related to guardrails, housekeeping, and construction debris. The building's recent construction activity has attracted multiple violations and penalties, particularly in late 2024, including fines related to housekeeping issues ($2,500) and missing guardrails ($1,250) that were subsequently resolved.
