467 Harman Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237

The 6-unit, 3-story tenement building at 467 Harman Street in Bushwick, owned by Steve Marrone, has a documented history of recurring heat and hot water issues spanning several years. Most recently, in October 2023, there was a building-wide heat and hot water failure that was temporarily resolved, following similar incidents in December 2022 and February 2019.

These emergency situations were all promptly responded to by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), though the recurring nature of these complaints raises concerns about the building's heating system reliability. The building is also currently facing multiple open violations from December 2022, including issues with self-closing doors, missing heating system notice, and gas leak procedure notification requirements in the public hall, all of which are critical for resident safety. The property has maintained an active bedbug reporting record from 2019 through 2024, consistently showing zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units, indicating effective pest management.

Recent rodent inspections show mixed results; while the March 2025 inspection passed, a rat activity report was noted in April 2024, though this was not subsequently cited as a violation. The building's age (dating back to 1931) and its classification as a "New Law" tenement suggest it has undergone various regulatory requirements over the years, yet the repeated heating system failures and unresolved safety violations from 2022 are notable concerns. While the building has periodically filed its annual bedbug report as required, it remains to be seen whether the heating system issues will receive continued attention in light of the building's recent history.
