Augrented Insights Report for 871 Hart Street

871 Hart Street is a 6-unit, 3-story New Law tenement building located in Bushwick, built in 1931 and currently owned by Joel Lefkowitz. The property has experienced persistent pest issues, with multiple unsanitary condition complaints in 2025 and 2024, including rat sightings and infestations affecting Unit 1L.

The building demonstrated ongoing maintenance challenges throughout 2023-2025, with multiple HPD inspections revealing issues with windows (frames and panes), garbage storage, and security systems (bell/buzzer/intercom). Unit 1L, in particular, has been the focus of several violations, including problems with water leaks, electrical wiring, hot water temperature, and evidence of mold and rodent infestations, according to inspections from 2024. The building has also faced infrastructure concerns, including a heavy water leak and smoke detector issues in late 2023, and violations related to boiler maintenance and low-pressure inspection filings that remain active as of 2023-2024.

Department of Buildings records from 2018 indicate past compliance violations regarding construction modifications and safety requirements. While there have been no reported bedbug infestations in recent years, the property continues to grapple with rodent activity, as evidenced by multiple rodent inspection results in 2023-2025. The building's ongoing maintenance and sanitation issues, particularly related to pests, water damage, and security systems, suggest persistent challenges in maintaining acceptable living conditions, despite some issues being addressed through HPD inspections and violations being marked as resolved.
