579 Hart Street, Brooklyn, NY 11221

579 Hart Street is a 3-story, 2-family residential building located in Bushwick, owned by Robert Silverblatt and constructed in 2016. The property has experienced recurring issues with pest control, particularly in 2019-2020, when multiple complaints were filed regarding pest infestations including mice and roaches in the ground floor apartment (Apartment 1). These infestations led to violations under the Housing Maintenance Code, though records indicate these were ultimately closed.

A more recent concern emerged in May 2022 with an open violation regarding a defective carbon monoxide detector in Apartment 1, which remains unresolved as of the last information available. The building's maintenance history shows a significant number of rodent inspections, with most results indicating compliance and successful passing, though a rat activity issue was noted in June 2024. The property has maintained a clean slate with respect to bedbug infestations over the past three reporting periods (2023-2025), with no reported cases.

A complaint regarding an alleged illegal conversion was filed in July 2020, though inspectors were unable to gain access to investigate. Regular rodent inspections from 2020 through 2025 show mostly passing results, with only one noted instance of rat activity in 2024, and recent inspections in 2024 and 2025 have passed, suggesting improved pest management. The building has exhibited a pattern of pest-related complaints and violations in its early years of occupancy, though recent records indicate fewer such issues, with the most recent significant violation being the carbon monoxide detector issue from 2022.
