194 Hart Street, Brooklyn, NY 11206

194 Hart Street is a 3-unit, 3-story residential building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, built in 1910 and currently owned by Zenas White. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years, most notably in 2022 when there were emergency complaints about both heating and hot water problems and cooking gas issues, though inspections showed these conditions had been resolved, with no violations issued.

A heavy water leak was reported in January 2021, but inspectors were unable to access the property for verification. The building has consistently received annual bedbug violation notices from 2021 through 2024 for failure to file the required annual bedbug report, though the most recent 2024 filing period (November 2022 - October 2023) reported zero infested or re-infested dwelling units.

The property has had recurring rodent activity issues, with multiple inspections indicating rat activity between 2022 and 2024, though recent inspections in 2025 (January and July) passed without any rodent-related findings, suggesting some improvement in pest control measures. The building's age and the variety of maintenance issues - particularly the heating, hot water, and rat problems - are noteworthy, though the absence of recent health or safety violations indicates some stabilization in building conditions over the past year. The most recent bedbug reporting requirements were met in July 2024, showing some compliance progress in this area, while the rat activity in 2024 suggests ongoing challenges with pest management.
