776 Hart Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237

The three-story, six-unit tenement building at 776 Hart Street in Bushwick, built in 1931 and owned by Tom Rosenberg, has experienced significant maintenance and compliance issues in recent years. The property has been under consistent inspection and violation monitoring since 2020, when multiple violations were recorded including issues with doors, ceilings, and walls in public areas. Most concerning are the recent 2025 HPD complaints, which generated multiple violations related to paint/plaster conditions on walls, ceilings, and cabinets, as well as floor issues in common areas.

There have also been water-related problems, with complaints about damp spots and water supply issues recorded in February 2025. While some inspections resulted in closed violations, including an emergency mold issue in March 2025, the building has shown repeated access issues for inspectors attempting to address various complaints. The building's maintenance history reveals ongoing challenges with rodent activity, as evidenced by multiple inspection results showing rat activity between 2023 and 2025, though some inspections did pass.

The property has maintained a bedbug-free record according to annual filings from 2020-2024, with zero reported infestations. The most recent inspection related to Local Law 188 compliance in July 2023 resulted in no violations being found, and several historical violations from 2020 regarding public hall maintenance, including plaster repairs and painting requirements, were certified as corrected by July 2020. While the building has addressed some violations over time, the frequency of recent complaints and the need for multiple inspections suggest ongoing maintenance challenges.
