764 Hart Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237

The 5-unit, 3-story Old Law Tenement building at 764 Hart Street in Bushwick, owned by Virgil Chong, has experienced several ongoing maintenance and health inspection issues since 2022. Most notably, there has been recurring rodent activity, with multiple inspections showing evidence of rat presence between 2022 and 2025, though the most recent inspection in May 2025 resulted in a "Passed" rating.

The building has also faced challenges with water maintenance, as evidenced by a slow leak complaint in early 2025 where HPD was unable to gain access for inspection, leading to the closure of the complaint due to lack of response from the residents. The property has a documented history of bedbug reporting requirements, with violations issued in 2021, 2022, and 2024 for failure to file the necessary annual bedbug reports, though recent records (2022-2024) show consistent reporting periods with zero infested units, suggesting compliance with eradication protocols.

While the building has experienced 311 complaints and housing maintenance code violations, it's worth noting that many of these have been resolved or closed, including the 2025 water leak complaint. The property's inspection history shows a mixture of rat activity and successful compliance inspections, indicating ongoing pest management efforts.
