847 Hart Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237

The 6-unit, 3-story tenement building at 847 Hart Street in Bushwick, owned by 847 Hart Street LLC and constructed in 1931, has experienced several recurring maintenance challenges over the past several years. Most notably, there was a documented rodent problem from 2022 through mid-2025, with multiple inspections showing "Rat Activity" and forming a pattern of infestation that required ongoing attention.

The building faced significant infrastructure issues in 2021, including multiple violations related to the boiler system, with documented water leaks in the cellar ceiling, standing water in the boiler room, and unsafe electrical wiring conditions. Resident comfort has been affected by heat and hot water problems, as evidenced by HPD violations in both 2021 and 2020, along with pest-related issues documented in a 2020 UNSANITARY CONDITION complaint. The building's more recent history shows some improvement in pest management, with the most recent bedbug report for 2024 showing only one infested dwelling unit, which was eradicated.

Rodent inspections have been conducted regularly, with the latest inspections in 2025 showing "Passed" results, suggesting potential resolution of the ongoing rodent issue. The building also underwent various repairs and corrections following 2021 violations, including resolving issues with broken plexiglass at the vestibule door and addressing water leak concerns. While the property has maintained compliance with recent rodent inspections and has completed various repairs, the historical pattern of maintenance issues and the building's age warrant continued attention to building systems and pest management.
