302 Harman Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237

302 Harman Street is a 6-unit, 3-story residential building located in Bushwick, built in 1931 and currently owned by Elsie Ortiz. The building has experienced numerous maintenance issues in recent years, with particular clusters of problems related to the intercom/buzzer system and electrical infrastructure. Between May and June 2024 alone, there were multiple complaints regarding the intercom system, electrical lighting, outlets, and safety concerns with smoke detectors, though most of these complaints were closed due to lack of access for inspection.

The building also had an open violation from 2018 regarding inadequate heating in Apartment 2B and a locked boiler room door, both classified as Class C violations. More recently, in October 2024, a violation was recorded concerning defective hinges on the entrance door to Apartment 2A. The property has maintained an active bedbug reporting record from 2018 through 2025, showing mostly zero infestations, with only one confirmed case in 2020 that was promptly addressed.

Rodent inspections have been conducted regularly, with initial inspections showing rat activity in June 2025, though this was followed by a "Passed" result in July 2025. The building has experienced various safety and maintenance issues over the years, including multiple violations related to heating system access, building signage requirements, and notice postings in public areas, though many of these have been resolved. The current bedbug filing period (2025) shows no reported infestations, suggesting successful pest management in recent years. The property's maintenance record indicates ongoing challenges with building systems and infrastructure, particularly in 2024, though many complaints were ultimately closed due to inspection access issues.
