869 Hart Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237

869 Hart Street is a 3-story, 6-unit residential building in Bushwick, owned by Ismael Feliciano and constructed in 1931 as a Class A structure. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues, most notably a heavy water leak reported in December 2024 that resulted in HPD violations. Between late 2022 and mid-2024, there were multiple complaints about heat and hot water issues, particularly during December 2022 when several complaints were filed in quick succession, some of which resulted in violations.

The building's condition has generated multiple emergency complaints, including safety concerns regarding smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, door security issues, and an unsanitary pest condition in 2022. More recent issues from 2023-2024 include violations related to doors/windows, with open violations as of 2024 regarding broken plaster surfaces and bathroom issues in Apartment 1B, as well as fire escape security concerns in Apartment 2B. The building's maintenance history shows some persistence in addressing problems, with recent inspections in 2025 passing rodent inspections, though there were several instances of rat activity noted in 2024.

The bedbug reporting history from 2019 to present shows no documented infestations in any units, with all reporting periods showing zero infested or eradicated units. There appear to be ongoing maintenance challenges, as evidenced by multiple open violations and the pattern of complaints regarding basic services like heat/hot water, while the building has generally maintained compliance with NYC's bedbug and rodent reporting requirements. The most recent water leak issue and its associated violations represent the most significant recent maintenance concern as of mid-2025, though historical patterns suggest this building has had various maintenance challenges over time, particularly related to building systems and unit maintenance.
