Augrented Insights Report for 297 Harman Street

The 6-unit, 3-story tenement building at 297 Harman Street in Bushwick, owned by Tom Rosenberg and constructed in 1931, has experienced persistent maintenance challenges in recent years. Most notably, from 2021 to 2024, there have been recurring issues with water leaks and mold, with multiple HPD complaints and Housing Maintenance Code violations documented in apartments 1 and 1L, particularly during 2023.

The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of water-related problems, including slow leaks and visible mold, with violations issued in both 2021 and 2023 requiring repairs and remediation. Additionally, there have been several reports of rat activity in 2023-2025, with the most recent inspections in 2024 and 2025 confirming continued rodent presence.

The building experienced a brief heat and hot water outage in September 2021, though these services were reportedly restored quickly. Recent HPD complaints from 2024 regarding door issues were closed without inspection access, while various maintenance concerns in mid-2023 (including ceiling paint, cabinet issues, and water leaks) were addressed and closed, though some violations from 2023 remain open. The property has maintained a consistent record of zero bedbug infestations according to annual reporting from 2019 through 2024, and there is currently an active violation related to the failure to file a 2018 external low-pressure inspection, dating from June 2023.
