105 Harman Street, Brooklyn, NY 11221

105 Harman Street is a two-family residence built in 1920 in the Bushwick neighborhood, currently owned by Abe Garbo. The property has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water service, most recently documented in January 2025 with multiple emergency complaints involving both apartment-specific and entire-building outages. The building has also faced multiple water-related challenges, including heavy flow leaks reported in 2020, 2022, and 2023, and most concerning, mold issues documented in May 2023 affecting approximately 6 square feet at the ceiling and south wall of the first-story public hall.

This mold violation was classified as Class B, indicating a more serious condition that represents a potential health risk. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of required repairs and inspections, including three emergency heat/hot water complaints in 2025 that were subsequently reported as resolved, though the recurrence of such issues suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. Water leaks have been a repeated issue, with four documented incidents since 2020.

The property has passed multiple rodent inspections between 2020 and 2025, indicating improved pest control, though there were earlier complaints about pests in September 2020 that could not be inspected. The building's record shows some infrastructure maintenance needs, including repairs to plaster surfaces and painting in various locations, as well as a brief Phase A violation notice in 2023 regarding broken or defective plastered surfaces in the first-story public hall, which was subsequently addressed. Notably, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations in recent years, with zero reported cases between 2022 and 2025.
