688 Hart Street, Brooklyn, NY 11221
At 688 Hart Street in Bushwick, a three-unit, 1920s-era Old Law Tenement building owned by Sulma Ayala, the property has experienced recurring administrative issues related to bedbug reporting compliance. Between 2021 and 2024, the building received four Class A violations concerning the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by the Housing Maintenance Code. However, most recently in May 2024, the property successfully filed its bedbug report for the 2022-2023 period, indicating no infested units and no re-infestations, suggesting improved compliance with bedbug reporting requirements.
The building has documented rodent inspection results showing a pattern of compliance, with most recent inspections in 2024 and 2025 passing without issues. Notably, there were two instances of rat activity recorded in September and August 2023, but this was followed by a series of passing inspections, indicating subsequent improvements in pest management. Additionally, there is one historical complaint from December 2018 regarding illegal/unauthorized plumbing work, though this was marked as "Inspector Unable To Gain Access" on the second final attempt in January 2019, and its status is listed as closed.
The property's violation and inspection history suggests ongoing challenges with maintenance compliance, particularly regarding bedbug reporting, though recent filings indicate improvement in this area. The rodent control situation appears to have stabilized, with recent inspections consistently passing. However, the presence of multiple bedbug reporting violations and periods of rat activity in 2023-2024 may be of particular note regarding building maintenance history.
