839 Hart Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237

839 Hart Street is a 6-unit, 3-story residential building in Bushwick, built in 1931 and currently owned by Shloma Stuhl. The property has experienced recurring heating system issues throughout 2024, with multiple complaints about inadequate heat and hot water (both for entire building and individual apartments) between July and November 2024. The building has also faced several water-related problems, including multiple reports of heavy water leaks and plumbing issues in August 2024, as well as a window frame complaint in October 2024.

While the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) investigated these issues, many were closed without violations being issued, though they do indicate ongoing maintenance challenges. Recent inspections in 2024-2025 have focused on various building maintenance requirements, resulting in several violations being issued and subsequently closed. These include requirements for proper smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector notices, building registration signs, and the maintenance of self-closing doors at the building entrance.

There have also been multiple complaints regarding rat activity, though the most recent June 2025 inspection resulted in a passing grade. Importantly, the building has maintained a clean bedbug record, with zero reported infestations in the past five years. While there were three complaints about unauthorized work in November 2023, inspections either could not gain access or found no violations. The building's age and history suggest ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly regarding heating systems and water infrastructure, but recent months have shown some improvements in overall building conditions.
