872 Hart Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237

The 6-unit, 3-story New Law Tenement building at 872 Hart Street in Bushwick, built in 1931 and currently owned by 872 Hart LLC, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over the past five years, particularly regarding pest control and heating systems. Most notably, the building has faced ongoing pest problems, with multiple HPD complaints recorded between 2019 and 2022, including at least three separate pest-related service requests in 2020 alone.

The building's heating system has also been problematic, with multiple emergency complaints about heat and hot water issues affecting both individual apartments and the entire building, particularly in late 2019 and late 2020. The property currently has several open violations from previous inspections between 2018 and 2024, including requirements to maintain proper heating systems, particularly in apartment 1L, and to address pest control issues, as evidenced by a classification as a B violation for roach infestation in apartment 1R in 2018.

More recently, between 2022 and 2024, there have been multiple rodent inspections with varied results, showing sporadic rat activity throughout 2022-2023, though recent inspections in early 2025 have shown compliance and passed inspections. The building's records indicate all previous 311 complaints have been closed, with inspections conducted and generally no violations issued except for specific cases in 2019 regarding window/door issues and heating system access requirements. The property also has four open bedbug report violations from 2019-2024, indicating non-compliance with annual reporting requirements under the Housing Maintenance Code.
