Augrented Insights Report for 555 Hart Street

The three-story, six-unit tenement building at 555 Hart Street in Bushwick, owned by Joseph Kaufman and constructed in 1931, has experienced several significant maintenance issues and violations over recent years. The property has documented recurring problems with heating and hot water systems, particularly during 2021-2022, with multiple emergency complaints filed regarding lack of service affecting both individual apartments and the entire building.

Notably, there are open Class C violations from 2021-2022 related to heating system access and deficiencies in heating and hot water supply in apartment 2L. Issues of electrical reliability have also been persistent, with multiple power outage complaints and violations requiring attention. The building has faced challenges with basic habitability requirements, including a recent rat activity inspection finding in July 2025, though previous rodent inspections had shown passing results.

There are active ECB violations from 2018 related to gas system compliance and failure to correct previous orders, with penalties totaling $1,780. Safety concerns have been documented, such as mold issues in 2021, and open violations regarding smoke and carbon monoxide detector functionality in apartment 2L from 2021. The property has maintained a consistent record of bedbug-free status across annual reporting periods from 2020 through 2024, and recent rodent inspections have shown some improvement in conditions.
