Augrented Insights Report for 290 Harman Street

290 Harman Street is a 3-story, 12-unit residential building constructed in 1931 and currently owned by Jacob Sacks, located in Bushwick. The property has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water throughout late 2024 and early 2025, with multiple complaints logged in December 2024 alone, including both apartment-specific and building-wide problems. These complaints resulted in several Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) inspections, though access difficulties limited some inspections.

The building has also faced maintenance challenges, particularly in Apartment 2RR, which had multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations in June 2024 regarding structural issues and safety equipment, including problems with self-closing doors, door hinges, and the need for repairs to kitchen and bathroom fixtures. While some violations were closed, others, including issues with the building entrance door, remain open as of July 2025. The property has a history of rodent issues, with multiple inspections showing rat activity between 2023 and 2025, though recent inspections in 2025 have shown passed results.

Additionally, the building has two active Environmental Control Board violations from 2021 regarding unfiled permit sign-offs, each carrying a $6,250 penalty, and three active violations related to external low-pressure inspection filings from 2023-2024. A bed bug incident was reported in the most recent filing period (November 2023 - October 2024), though it appears to have been effectively addressed. The building's maintenance record shows a mix of resolved and ongoing issues, particularly focused on heat system reliability, plumbing maintenance, and structural integrity.
