56 Hart Street, Brooklyn, NY 11206

56 Hart Street is a three-story, three-unit residential building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn. Built in 1910 and currently owned by Laverne Paul, the property has recently experienced several significant maintenance issues, particularly during June 2025, when multiple emergency complaints were filed and addressed.

These included problems with electrical lighting, window frames, window panes, and door-related issues, as well as a concerning heat and hot water failure that affected the entire building. During the same period, there were also complaints regarding indoor air quality and rat sightings, though the property passed the rodent inspection conducted on June 24, 2025, with only minor violations noted. The building has a historical record of bedbug reporting violations from 2021 through 2024, though the most recent report filed in December 2024 indicated no infested units during the 2023-2024 reporting period.

While the property has consistently passed rodent inspections since 2020, with several conducted throughout 2022, 2023, and 2024 showing compliance, the recent spate of maintenance issues in mid-2025 raises concerns about the building's current upkeep. Other documented issues include an unsanitary condition related to garbage/recycling storage, though this was classified as non-emergency and addressed by June 28, 2025. All the recent complaints, including those related to heating, ventilation, and window conditions, have been responded to by management, though some required follow-up reporting via the 311 system.
