90 Harman Street, Brooklyn, NY 11221

The two-family house at 90 Harman Street in Bushwick, owned by David Berg, has experienced several notable issues over recent years, particularly concerning rodent activity. Most recently, in November 2024, the building received a rat sighting complaint from the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, which resulted in violations requiring follow-up inspections.

This was preceded by multiple rodent inspections throughout 2024, with three showing rat activity (September, November, and most recently recorded) and three passing. The building has an impressive record of passing rodent inspections from 2022 through 2023, as well as maintaining a bedbug-free status during the 2022-2023 reporting period, with no units reported as infested or re-infested. In terms of structural and safety compliance, the building was inspected in August 2019 for site conditions endangering workers, but no violations were found at that time.

The property underwent several permitting activities in 2019, with multiple excavation and plumbing permits issued in July and October, suggesting maintenance or improvement work was being carried out during that period. While the building has generally maintained compliance with health and safety inspections, the recurring rodent activity from 2024 through early 2025 indicates an ongoing challenge in this area, with the most recent inspection scheduled for March 2025. The presence of recent health department violations and the pattern of rodent activity, though officially addressed through inspections, may impact resident comfort and safety.
