930 Hart Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237

The three-story, six-unit tenement at 930 Hart Street in Bushwick, dating back to 1931, has experienced ongoing maintenance issues and regulatory violations in recent years. Most notably, there have been multiple incidents of inadequate heat and hot water in 2024, with three reported outages affecting either the entire building or specific apartments, though in each case, service was reportedly restored before inspection.

The building has also faced persistent rodent problems, with multiple violations documented between 2022 and 2024, including confirmed rat activity during inspections in early 2025. Additional maintenance concerns have included water leaks (2022), various interior maintenance issues such as paint/plaster problems (2024), and safety concerns regarding the fire escape (2024).

The property has a history of inspections and violations related to unauthorized construction work from 2020, with several active Environmental Control Board violations regarding non-compliance with Commissioner’s Orders and work without proper permits, including issues from Apartment 1L and the cellar that were reportedly resolved but left an active $3,125 penalty as of 2022. Recent inspections in late 2024 and early 2025 revealed multiple housing code violations, including excessive hot water temperatures in Apartments 1R and 2L, mold in the bathroom of Apartment 1R, and rodent issues affecting both interior and exterior areas. While the building has maintained a bedbug-free status in recent annual filings since 2019, the ongoing maintenance and regulatory compliance issues suggest persistent challenges with basic building systems and pest management in common areas and throughout various units.
