918 Hart Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237

918 Hart Street is a 2-story, 4-unit tenement building located in Bushwick, built in 1931 and currently owned by Yechil Landau. Recent maintenance issues have affected the building's safety features, with inspections in March 2023 documenting problems with fire egress systems, specifically an iron ladder leading to the roof scuttle opening that was noted as defective in both the 2nd and 3rd stories.

Multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations were recorded in March 2023, primarily affecting Apartment 1L and 2L, including defective plaster surfaces requiring repair and repainting, bathroom ceiling issues, and problems with self-closing doors. A significant complaint regarding an illegal conversion was filed in November 2024, followed by an inspection in March 2025, though the inspector was unable to gain access on the second final attempt.

The building has maintained a good record regarding pest control, with no bedbug infestations reported in the four most recent annual filings (2021-2025), showing zero infested or eradicated units. Rodent inspections show a mixed record: while recent inspections in July 2025 and January 2025 both passed, there were instances of rat activity noted in both July 2024 and September 2024, suggesting sporadic rodent issues that were subsequently addressed based on passing results in 2025. The building appears to have undergone various maintenance repairs in 2023, as evidenced by certified corrections to the identified violations, though the persistence of some violations prior to certification suggests ongoing maintenance challenges.
