Is 53 Hart Street, Brooklyn getting better or worse?

Certifications are being filed about as fast as new violations come in. 9 certifications filed and 6 new Class C in the last 180 days, neither far ahead. That window ends September 26, 2026. It compares certifications filed with new Class C violations, and it describes what happened, not what anyone intends.

When were certifications filed on Class C violations at 53 Hart Street, Brooklyn?

Since September 28, 2023, certifications were filed on 37 Class C violations: 29 by the original certify-by date, 8 after it. HPD now marks 1 of them False Certification. A certification is the filing, dated when it was made, not HPD's acceptance of it. It is compared with the original certify-by date on the notice. A granted postponement moves that date and the city's data keeps only the first, so a certification counted after it may still have met a postponed date.

Does 53 Hart Street, Brooklyn have active DOB violations?

Yes. 3 active DOB violations, most of them for low-pressure boilers. The newest was issued April 6, 2018. The Department of Buildings writes these separately from HPD's housing violations, for things like boilers, elevators, facades, construction and energy filings. Each one stays active until DOB resolves or dismisses it.

Is 53 Hart Street, Brooklyn in housing court?

Yes. 2 open housing court cases, most of them tenant actions. The newest opened April 23, 2026. HPD takes buildings to housing court to get violations fixed and heat and hot water restored, and it joins tenants' own repair cases, called tenant actions. A case stays open until the court closes it.

Has DOB received complaints about 53 Hart Street, Brooklyn?

Yes. 1 DOB complaint in the last 12 months. It was filed May 20, 2026. Anyone can complain to DOB about a building or the work going on in it, and DOB then inspects and decides whether there is a violation. A conversion complaint says an apartment may have been added or changed without approval. It is a complaint, not a finding.

Is 53 Hart Street, Brooklyn rent stabilized?

The building has rent-stabilized apartments on its 2024 registration. That comes from the Rent Guidelines Board's list of buildings with at least one stabilized apartment registered that year. Buildings that registered late are left off, and a 421-a or J-51 building can leave stabilization when its tax benefit ends. A particular apartment's status is for NYS HCR to say.

When was 53 Hart Street, Brooklyn built?

The city's record gives 1931 as the year 53 Hart Street, Brooklyn was built, in the Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file. The same file classes it as a walk-up apartment building with 3 floors.

How many apartments does 53 Hart Street, Brooklyn have?

The Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file lists 7 residential units at 53 Hart Street, Brooklyn. The count is for the whole tax lot.

Where do these numbers come from?

From New York City's own data: HPD housing violations and OATH/ECB hearing results, read whole rather than sampled. It also draws on DOB violations, HPD's housing court cases, DOB complaints, the Rent Guidelines Board's stabilized-building lists and the city's PLUTO tax-lot file. This page is current through September 26, 2026. The city's data changes daily, so a violation certified after that can still show as open here; the city's own page for this building is linked above.

Sources. HPD housing violations and OATH/ECB hearing results, plus DOB violations, HPD's housing court cases, DOB complaints, the Rent Guidelines Board's stabilized-building lists and the city's PLUTO tax-lot file. Counts cover HPD Class B and C violations from the last 3 years that HPD still shows open, and OATH/ECB summonses from the same 3 years that the city still shows active. The city's own pages can show more, never fewer.
