761 Hart Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237

The 6-unit, 3-story building at 761 Hart Street in Bushwick, owned by Aron Fromowitz and constructed in 1931, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, particularly during 2024. The property has multiple active violations related to its external low-pressure system, with failures to file required inspections from 2018 through 2023 still pending resolution. In 2024, there has been a concerning pattern of building system issues, including multiple complaints and violations regarding doors and windows, particularly affecting the building's entrance security and internal unit doors.

Apartment 1R has been identified as needing various repairs, including issues with smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, water fixtures, and interior surfaces. The building has also faced plumbing problems, water leaks, and flooring issues, with some violations classified as "emergency" with respect to their potential impact on resident safety and comfort. More recent inspections conducted in 2025 have confirmed ongoing rodent activity, with evidence of rat presence in multiple inspections throughout 2024 and 2025, though previous bedbug infestation reports show no affected units since their introduction to the reporting system.

The building's maintenance history shows a mixture of resolved and ongoing issues, with particular attention needed to address the recurring problems with door security, water systems, and pest control. While many recent service requests and housing maintenance code complaints have been closed, some violations remain open, indicating work is still needed to fully address these conditions. The property has maintained zero reported bedbug infestations across multiple annual reporting periods from 2019 through 2024, suggesting good management of this particular pest issue.
