714 Hart Street, Brooklyn, NY 11221
The 6-unit, 3-story building at 714 Hart Street in Bushwick, owned by Eleizer Schwimer and built in 1931, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, most notably a series of heat and hot water problems affecting the entire building, with the most recent complaint filed in February 2025. The building has shown recurring electrical issues, with three separate power outage incidents reported in October 2023, all requiring immediate emergency response, though no violations were issued in these cases. Later building safety concerns include violations related to building front stair safety, with open violations as of October 2024 for missing newel posts and loose handrails.
The property has a documented history of pests, including a December 2020 violation for a cockroach infestation in apartment 3L, though recent bedbug reports from 2021 through 2025 show no infestations. Multiple rodent inspections between 2022 and 2025 indicate consistent rat activity, with passed inspections in February and September 2025, while earlier inspections in 2023 and 2024 showed rat activity. The building underwent various repairs and maintenance issues during this period, including water leak complaints (April 2024), and multiple general maintenance issues.
There have been three documented complaints regarding work without permits between 2020 and 2022, and two illegal conversion complaints from 2018 and 2020, though inspections were unable to gain access. The building received environmental violations in 2020 related to an illegal conversion from a Class A apartment to three SRO units, with a resolved penalty of $3,125. While the building has had numerous maintenance issues over the years, it has successfully completed pest eradication programs and currently shows compliance with rodent infestation regulations as of February 2025.
