23 Hart Street, Brooklyn, NY 11206

23 Hart Street is a three-story, three-unit residential building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn. Built in 1899 and currently owned by Abe Green, this heretofore converted Class A building has experienced several notable maintenance and compliance issues over the past few years. The property has consistently maintained rodent control compliance, passing all inspections from 2019 through 2025.

There have been recurring bedbug report filings from 2021-2024 showing zero infested units each year. The building's recent history (2022-2024) shows four consecutive violations regarding the annual bedbug report filing requirement, though these are administrative in nature. Significant maintenance issues were documented in late 2019, including problems with flooring/stairs, electrical outlets, and a cooking gas system, all of which resulted in HPD inspections and some violations.

The building underwent renovation work in 2019, which led to a construction-related violation regarding non-conforming work (with a $2,500 penalty) that was later resolved. The property has maintained regular compliance with basic safety requirements, though there have been periodic issues with building systems, including a broken intercom system, defective electrical outlet, and issues with exterior lighting noted in various inspections. While the building has had its share of maintenance challenges, the regular passing of rodent inspections and consistent bedbug control efforts indicate active management of these common urban pest issues.
