781 Hart Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237

The 6-unit, 3-story Old Law Tenement at 781 Hart Street in Bushwick, owned by Simon Tyrnouer and constructed in 1931, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, as of June 2023, there remains an active Department of Buildings violation for failure to file the 2018 external low pressure inspection.

Between 2018 and 2022, multiple health and safety violations were recorded, including failures to properly post required notices regarding smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, gas leak procedures, and tenant rights - all of which were marked as "Open" during a June 2018 inspection. Additionally, there were specific unit-related issues such as inadequate gas supply to the kitchen in apartment 3R and a defective bathroom door handle in apartment 1R, both of which have since been addressed. Recent inspections have revealed ongoing pest control challenges, particularly with rodent activity.

Between December 2023 and April 2025, multiple rodent inspections were conducted with varying results, including instances of rat activity and bait application. While the building has maintained a consistent record of zero bedbug infestations in its annual reports from 2021 through 2024, the persistent rodent issues and the outstanding building violation from 2023 suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. The most recent bedbug reporting period (2024-2025) shows no infestations or eradications, continuing the previous pattern of successful pest control in this regard.
