464 Harman Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237

464 Harman Street is a 3-story, 6-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1931, currently owned by Angelo Messina and located in Bushwick. The property has experienced recurring issues with building safety and sanitation requirements, most notably an open unsanitary condition complaint regarding garbage/recycling storage from December 2024 that was not able to be inspected by HPD and remains unresolved as of mid-2025. Multiple violations related to safety systems were documented in 2022, including missing carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, and window guards in Apartment 3R, though some of these were eventually certified as corrected.

The building has active DOB violations for failure to file low pressure inspections for both 2021 and 2023. Recent inspections and complaints reveal ongoing pest management challenges, particularly concerning rodent activity, with inspections in 2024 and 2025 noting violations. However, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in the last four reporting periods between 2021-2025.

The building's boiler system has been a point of concern, with violations issued in 2021 regarding defective/inoperative equipment and non-compliance with fire rating requirements, resulting in a $625 penalty that has since been resolved. Compliance inspections for lead-based paint hazard controls have revealed ongoing issues in multiple units (2L, 2R, 3R) as recently as 2022, though some violations have been closed. The property has a mixed record of addressing safety violations, with some issues being promptly corrected while others remain unresolved, particularly concerning recent sanitation complaints and older inspection requirements.
