Augrented Insights Report for 289 Harman Street

This 6-unit, 3-story Old Law Tenement building in Bushwick, owned by Tom Rosenberg and constructed in 1931, has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past several years, with the most recent problems concentrated in 2023. Notably, there are significant concerns regarding water management and infrastructure, as evidenced by multiple water leak complaints and violations, including a slow leak complaint that remained uninvestigated until September 2023.

The building has a documented history of heating system problems, with multiple emergency complaints about heat and hot water issues occurring in both 2019-2020 and 2022. More recently, in September 2023, several violations were documented regarding the building's safety systems, including issues with fire retardant plaster, self-closing doors, and roof leaks affecting both the 2nd and 3rd stories.

The property has also faced pest control challenges, with documented rodent activity in 2024-2025, though it passed a May 2025 inspection. While there was an illegal conversion complaint filed in 2022 regarding a staircase installation, access was denied for inspection, and an ECB violation from 2018 regarding unauthorized construction work remains active with a $1,250 penalty. On a positive note, the building has maintained a consistent record of zero bedbug infestations since 2019, with all reporting periods showing no affected units.
