161 Harman Street, Brooklyn, NY 11221
161 Harman Street is a 3-story, 6-unit residential building in Bushwick, built in 1931 and currently owned by Yechil Landau. The property has faced significant pest control challenges in recent years, with multiple reports of rodent activity and unsanitary conditions. Most notably, from 2023 through mid-2025, there have been recurring rodent issues, with the most recent inspection in June 2025 confirming rat activity.
The building experienced two unsanitary condition complaints regarding pests in early 2023, though HPD was unable to access the premises for inspection. These pest-related issues have persisted despite treatment efforts, as evidenced by multiple bait applications in mid-2024 and several rat activity inspections throughout 2024-2025. The building's maintenance history shows some positive developments, particularly regarding bedbug management.
The property has maintained a clean record in terms of bedbug infestations, with all annual reports from 2021 through mid-2025 consistently showing zero infested dwelling units, zero eradicated units, and zero re-infested units. However, two Housing Maintenance Code violations were issued in 2021 and 2022 regarding the failure to file the required annual bedbug report, though these violations have since been resolved. The building's age and its classification as an old law tenement suggest it is subject to specific regulatory requirements, and while there have been some maintenance challenges, particularly with rodents, the comprehensive bedbug reporting and treatment history indicates proactive management in that area.
