791 Hart Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237

The three-story, six-unit building at 791 Hart Street in Bushwick, owned by Suri Lebovits, has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most recent problems occurring in May 2025, including mold and a slow water leak, though no violations were issued following HPD inspections. The building has a documented history of water-related issues, with multiple water leak complaints between 2023 and 2025, including both heavy flow and slow leaks.

A significant cluster of unsanitary conditions was reported in August 2024 regarding pest infestations, though HPD inspectors were unable to gain access for verification. In September 2024, the building received several housing maintenance code violations specifically affecting Apartment 1, including issues with window counter balances, fire egress safety (obstructing bars), water leaks, and various problems with plaster and paint surfaces. Additionally, violations were recorded for Apartment 1R in 2023 regarding a damaged bathtub and defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.

The building has shown recurring rodent activity, with multiple inspections between 2023 and 2025 confirming rat presence, though bait was applied in July 2023 and July 2025. Importantly, the building's bedbug reporting history from 2020 through 2025 shows no infestation cases, with all reports indicating zero infested units. While the property has had numerous complaints and inspection reports, it's notable that most recent HPD inspections have not resulted in violation citations, though there are ongoing concerns with water-related issues and rodent activity.
