73 Harman Street, Brooklyn, NY 11221

The two-family house at 73 Harman Street in Bushwick, owned by Townhouse Rental LLC, has experienced several notable maintenance issues over the past year. The building, constructed in 1920, has recorded multiple water-related problems, including three separate incidents of "Damp Spot" issues between November 2023 and early 2024, and multiple complaints regarding slow leaks and water damage.

There are also recurring concerns about unsanitary conditions, with multiple reports of mold and pest infestations between 2023 and 2024, though not all resulted in violation notices. Notably, during 2024, there were two emergency complaints (plumbing and door issues) that the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) was unable to inspect due to access issues. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of water-related problems, identified as a persistent issue requiring attention.

While the building's recent bedbug reports from 2023-2024 show zero infestations, indicating successful pest management in that regard, the overall maintenance record suggests ongoing challenges with basic infrastructure. All complaints from 2023-2024 have been marked as closed, though some were closed without inspection due to access issues, which is concerning given the nature of the reported problems. The most recent inspection in September 2024 (for sweep-related issues) found no violations, providing some reassurance about current conditions, though this was not specifically related to the previously documented concerns.
