Augrented Insights
AI summary · updated June 2026

The 3-story, 6-unit tenement building at 470 Harman Street in Bushwick, owned by Giovanni Mistretta, has a documented history dating back to its 1931 construction. The property has maintained a generally good record in terms of pest management, with no recorded bedbug infestations since 2019, and regular rodent inspections have consistently passed throughout the years, most recently in March 2025. However, there has been one notable compliance issue: in April 2023, the building was cited for failing to file the 2022 external low-pressure inspection, though this violation was later dismissed in November 2023. The building's only recorded pest-related incident was a rat sighting in May 2020, which was promptly addressed by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene with only minor violations noted. The property's preventive maintenance record appears robust, with all required rodent inspections passing and no significant recurring pest issues reported since 2019, suggesting effective ongoing management of both pest control and building maintenance requirements.
