Early life and education
Quart was born in the Washington Heights neighborhood of Manhattan.[3] He grew up in Mitchell-Lama Housing.[4] His father was a teacher for 41 years and a member of the United Federation of Teachers.[3]

After being admitted to the bar, Quart worked as a volunteer lawyer for Legal Aid's Housing Division.[5] In 2003, he was awarded the Pro Bono Publico Award by New York State Chief Judge Judith Kaye for his commitment to providing legal services to the poor.[3]

In 2012, he was named one of City & State's "40 under 40" people who are young and influential in New York City politics.[1]
In 2021, he ran for Manhattan District Attorney, losing in the Democratic primary to Alvin Bragg.
