707 Hart Street, Brooklyn, NY 11221

707 Hart Street is a 4-story, 8-unit residential building constructed in 1931, currently owned by Townhouse Rental LLC. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past two years, with the most significant concerns centering around water-related problems. Between September 2023 and April 2024, there were multiple reports of water leaks, including slow leaks and damp spots, though inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) generally found no violations.

The building has faced various sanitary challenges, with at least three mold-related complaints and multiple garbage/recycling storage issues, all of which were inspected but did not result in violations being issued. The building's maintenance record shows a mix of resolved and ongoing issues. In September 2023, several violations were documented in Apartment 1B, including problems with the kitchen exhaust vent, door frame weather seal, and bathroom caulking, while Apartment 3F was cited for issues with the kitchen floor, window recess, bathroom surfaces, and bathroom fixtures.

All but one of these violations were marked as resolved, with the sole remaining violation concerning the kitchen wood floor repair in Apartment 3F still showing as "Open" as of the most recent inspection. The property has maintained an active bedbug reporting record from 2020 to 2024, with no reported infestations in any of the annual filings. However, rodent inspections present a concerning pattern, with multiple instances of rat activity recorded between 2022 and 2025, though the most recent April 2025 inspection resulted in a "Passed" status.
