88 Hart Street, Brooklyn, NY 11206

88 Hart Street is a 4-story, 10-unit Class A residential building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, constructed in 2016 and currently owned by Israel Weber. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past year, with multiple complaints and violations related to water leaks, mold, and heating problems. Most recently, in March 2025, three separate complaints were filed regarding wall issues (paint/plaster), floor conditions, and water leaks, with violations issued for the wall issue.

Earlier complaints from January 2025 and October 2024 also involved water leaks and mold problems, though inspections did not reveal violations in some cases. The building had heating and hot water complaints in October 2024, resulting in violations for Apartment 2A and issues with access to the heating system. The property faced significant regulatory scrutiny in 2018 when violations were issued regarding unauthorized transient use, with enforcement actions taken against the owner for illegal hotel operations, triggering violations related to fire safety systems and means of egress.

These violations were ultimately resolved. More recent building maintenance issues include open violations from October 2024 in Apartment 1B regarding water leaks, plaster surfaces, and paint problems. The building has maintained good pest control practices, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past five years and passed rodent inspections as recent as April 2025, though there were two periods of rat activity noted in late 2022. While the building is relatively new, the recurring nature of water-related issues and heating system problems suggests ongoing maintenance challenges that could impact resident comfort and quality of life.
