291 Harman Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237
291 Harman Street is a 3-story, 6-unit OLD LAW TENEMENT building located in Bushwick, Brooklyn and currently owned by Leong Shi. The 1931 structure has experienced several notable events and maintenance issues over the past three years. Most recently, in January 2024, there was a heat and hot water emergency affecting the entire building, though this issue was resolved promptly within two days.
The building has had recurring bedbug reporting violations from 2021 through 2024, with the latest violation occurring in April 2024. While the December 2024 bedbug report for the period of November 2023 to October 2024 shows no infested units, it is worth noting that the building had prior documentation indicating past infestations during 2021-2022. The property has undergone several rodent inspections between 2022 and 2025, with the most recent inspections in May 2025 and November 2024 passing successfully. However, there were instances of rat activity noted in May 2024, June 2022, and May 2022, suggesting intermittent rodent issues.
In 2024, there was one complaint filed regarding illegal commercial/manufacturing use in a residential zone, but the inspector was unable to gain access for verification. The building is subject to New York City's housing maintenance code requirements and has generally resolved its violations promptly when they occur. The property has maintained regular inspections and reporting requirements, though the pattern of bedbug and rodent issues indicates some ongoing pest management challenges. The most significant recent event affecting tenant comfort was the heat and hot water emergency in early 2024, which was addressed quickly by the housing authorities.
