167 Hart Street, Brooklyn, NY 11206

The three-unit residential building at 167 Hart Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Gabriel Dorfman, has experienced several maintenance issues since its construction in 2004. Most recently, in July 2024, there were plumbing problems involving toilets and sinks that required emergency attention, though no violations were ultimately issued. In summer 2023, there was an ongoing issue with bees/wasps that remained unresolved as of August 2023.

The building has a documented history of water-related problems, with multiple complaints about leaks in 2019 (both heavy flow and slow leaks), and in 2022 involving slow leaks, which also coincided with reports of unsanitary conditions including mold. The 2019 violations specifically cited water leak issues in Apartment 1's ceiling and problems with plaster surfaces that required repair. The property has demonstrated a generally positive record in pest management, with bedbug reports showing no infestations in recent years from 2021 through 2024.

Rodent inspections in 2023 and 2024 show a mixture of results, including temporary reports of rat activity in early 2024, though recent inspections have passed. The building has maintained compliance with housing maintenance requirements, as demonstrated by the closing of various complaints and violations, even if some issues took multiple reports to resolve. The most recent maintenance activity indicates ongoing plumbing maintenance needs, similar to previous years where water-related issues were a recurring theme, though most recent complaints were addressed promptly even if they extended over several weeks.
