779 Hart Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237

The 6-unit, 3-story OLD LAW TENEMENT building at 779 Hart Street in Bushwick, owned by Martha Giraldoriordan, has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water throughout 2025, with multiple emergency complaints filed between January and April 2025. Several of these complaints, including issues from both apartment-specific and entire building categories, were closed without inspection due to inability to gain access. Notable plumbing concerns were reported in March 2025, along with a sewage leak investigation in March 2025 where no violations were found.

The building has documented rat activity in multiple inspections throughout 2023-2025, with recent inspections in April 2025 also noting this issue. The building has also faced various maintenance challenges over the past few years, including water leak complaints in 2022 (both heavy and slow leaks), and a refrigerator issue in 2024. A health-related incident was recorded in July 2023 involving indoor air quality.

Currently, there are several open violations from a September 2022 inspection, including requirements to post proper notices regarding smoke detector requirements, gas leak procedures, and Housing Information Guide availability. The building's maintenance history shows consistent issues with basic services and infrastructure, particularly regarding heating systems, though there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the past three years (2021-2024). While some violations have been closed, the persistence of heating system complaints in 2025 suggests ongoing infrastructure challenges.
