439 Harman Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237

The three-story, three-unit building at 439 Harman Street in Bushwick, owned by Sherrie Hon, has experienced several notable pest-related incidents over the past few years. Most recently, in November 2023, the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene documented rodent violations on the property, marking it as requiring follow-up inspections.

This incident followed a pattern of rodent issues in the building, with the most recent annual inspection in March 2025 passing, though previous inspections in early 2024 and 2022 showed varying results, including one instance of rat activity. The building's historical records show consistent compliance with rodent inspections, with 10 consecutive passed inspections between 2011 and 2022, interrupted by the recent compliance issues.

In addition to the rodent concerns, there was a Housing Maintenance Code violation issued in February 2022 regarding the failure to file the required annual bedbug report, though subsequent records show no reported bedbug infestations in the building from 2019 through 2024. The property has maintained good standing regarding bedbug management, with all annual reports indicating zero infested units, zero eradicated units, and zero re-infested units. While the building has experienced periodic pest-related challenges, particularly with rodents as evidenced by the recent DOHMH violation, it has demonstrated overall compliance with bedbug reporting requirements since 2022 and has maintained a record of addressing these issues through inspections and compliance efforts.
