18 Hart Street, Brooklyn, NY 11206

The three-story, three-unit building at 18 Hart Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Samuel Gold, has experienced recurring maintenance and safety issues throughout 2024-2025, with particular concerns regarding building access during inspections. Multiple complaints about doors, heat/hot water, and a power outage were reported in early 2025, but inspectors were repeatedly unable to gain access for necessary evaluations. The building currently has several open housing maintenance code violations from June 2024, including concerns about fire egress, a heating system access issue, and lack of hot water in Apartment 1.

Safety-related violations include problems with carbon monoxide detector compliance, and there are two active Class C violations regarding defective doors and free-standing radiators in public areas. The property has undergone various inspections and received multiple service requests, with particular clusters of complaints in January and February 2025, including pest issues, safety concerns, and door problems. While the building previously maintained a good record in rodent inspections, passing consistently from 2021-2023, there was one failure noted in July 2024, though subsequent inspections in August 2024 showed compliance.

Historical records indicate various building code violations throughout 2024-2025, though many have been resolved. The most recent service requests in 2025 focus primarily on door-related issues, with inspectors unable to conduct necessary evaluations due to access problems. The building's age (constructed in 1910) and history of these recurring issues suggest ongoing maintenance and accessibility challenges for residents and inspection authorities alike.
