705 Hart Street, Brooklyn, NY 11221

The 5-story, 24-unit residential building at 705 Hart Street in Bushwick, owned by Louis Yeung, was completed in 2017 and has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past years, particularly concerning heat and hot water supply. The most recent incident occurred in March 2024, involving a heat and hot water failure that was reportedly resolved within two days.

A notable cluster of heat-related problems occurred in late December 2021, affecting the entire building and resulting in violations related to hot water provision specifically in apartment 3F. The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with all annual reports between 2019 and 2024 showing zero infested units, and rodent inspections from 2017 through 2019 consistently passed. The property has encountered various regulatory challenges, including an Environmental Control Board violation issued in October 2024 regarding the failure to submit required parking structure inspection reports, with a penalty of $2,500.

During construction in 2018, the building's developers faced four violations related to inadequate property protection and safety measures, with penalties totaling $17,500, all of which were subsequently resolved. The building's safety infrastructure has been scrutinized, with violations in 2022 requiring the posting of various safety notices, including those for smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and gas leak procedures, though these issues were certified as corrected shortly thereafter. While the building experienced construction-related violations in 2018, all have been resolved, and the property has generally maintained compliance with health and safety requirements, as evidenced by regular passing grades in rodent inspections and the absence of recurring pest issues.
