Augrented Insights Report for 296 Harman Street

Located in Bushwick, 296 Harman Street is a 3-story, 9-unit old law tenement building constructed in 1931, currently owned by Chaskel Landau. The building has experienced recurring issues with heating systems, as evidenced by multiple heat/hot water complaints in both 2023 and 2025. The property has documented pest control challenges, with multiple pest-related complaints between 2023 and 2025. Notably, the second-floor apartment (2R) has been a focus of several violations and complaints, including issues with mold, flooring, and plumbing in 2024-2025, though some of these violations have been subsequently addressed.

The building has shown persistent maintenance challenges, with active Environmental Control Board violations related to failure to comply with inspection requirements and maintenance deficiencies. Recent inspection records indicate ongoing rodent activity, with multiple inspections between 2023 and 2025 showing consistent rat presence, though some inspections resulted in bait application being applied. The Department of Buildings has issued several active violations regarding failure to file external low-pressure inspections from 2018-2023. The property has also experienced water-related issues, with documented water leak complaints in 2023-2024, though some were resolved upon inspection.

While the building has maintained an active bedbug reporting record with consistent filings showing zero infestations between 2021 and 2025, the overall inspection and violation history suggests ongoing maintenance and pest control challenges that have required regular attention from city agencies. The building's documented history also reveals some infrastructure concerns, including past issues with garbage/recycling storage in 2023 and plumbing problems in 2024. Recent complaints about unsanitary conditions, including mold and flooring issues, suggest that while some problems have been addressed through inspections and repairs, new or recurring issues continue to emerge. The property has had several instances of non-compliance with inspection requirements, particularly regarding the external low-pressure inspections, which remain actively problematic as of 2023.
